Examples Of Mise En Scene In Inside Out

511 Words2 Pages

How does the mise-en-scene of Inside Out shape the movie? The mise-en-scene shapes Inside Out by revealing characters, shaping the audience's feeling, and revealing the theme. The mise-en-scene shapes the movie by revealing the characters through color coordination and design. Such as the color of the character Joy is golden and is glowing demonstrating she is in fact the main character. This is also demonstrates she is the emotion of joy as it follows the American saying "glowing with joy". This color coordination remains true for the rest of the emotions as Sadness is the color blue following the American slang " the blues" meaning sadness itself. Anger is another example of color revealing characters as red and the flames that come out of Anger are from the American cliché of cartoon character being angry enough to turn red and blow out flames/steam. Fear character design is utilized to reveal his character as he is very slim, has a long "hair" and is modeled by a nerve. This reveals Fear to be fear as his "hair" would stand up when whenever he was a afraid referring to the American idea of having ones body hair stand up when one is afraid. Disgust color reveals the character as she is a barf green color this referrers to the general disgust humans have towards barf. …show more content…

Examples of this would be the scenes where Joy, Sadness and Bing Bong were in the Subconscious the lighting being very low with a greenish tent and caused a horror feeling for the audience. Another Example of this would be when Joy and Bing Bong were trapped in the Memory Dump. The lighting here is shadowy and has a grayish tone causing a sense of hopelessness for the audience. This is further changed into sadness when Bing Bong's character design began to change from its original form to a form with less and less visible parts to the point where Bing Bong is gone and

  • Parallelism In Fargo

    As I mentioned earlier, the clutter in the Gunderson’s home does speak volumes about who they are as people. Well very proud and honest people, they are very flawed and blue collar. This clutter is continued on in the kitchen. The shelf behind the kitchen table is filled with pictures and other nick-nacks. This clutter is eerily reminiscent of the middle class household portrayed by the MacGuff’s in the film Juno. These families both are not going to make sure everything in their home is pristine, but their way of life is really not too uncommon. It really does embody a lot of blue collar America. Another good use of mise en scene in this sequence was the very gray and desolate skyline during the murder investigation. Murder obviously is not a light topic, so the dark atmosphere in the sky very much fits into the theme of this scene. The last thing I’d like to mention about mise en scene and staging takes me back to the opening zoom of this sequence. Along with the visual theatrics zoom, the sudden appearance of nondiegetic music also insinuates this is quite an important scene in the film. Once we hear the dramatic strings, we know something dramatic is about to happen, especially because the music is clearly not coming from something on the screen. This nondiegetic sound can be a useful tool to setting a scene and properly utilizing mise en scene and at the end of day, setting the scene is key in a naturalistic

    In conclusion, the mise-en-scene and its elements are very important decisions that are needed to make a good film. If a film was lacking figure expression and movement actors would be nothing more than stick people with blank expressions and very limited movement. The sets and props used in films would be boring or generic if no decisions were made regarding it and the same goes for costumes and makeup. Without these elements, without mise-en-scene, Chaplin’s film Modern Times, and every other film would be complete and total dud and little to none of the emotions the film would try to evoke would come

    The outsiders demonstrates that how you look does not mean who you are. This is demonstrated throughout the entire story.

    Through the use of complementary colors, she achieves great contrast. Contrasting hues develop a theme of light vs. dark, or in Liu’s case, expectations vs. reality. Dark colors are used to suggest the harsh, chaotic conditions experienced by the workers; while light, less saturated colors illustrate the calm passivity of traditional Chinese customs and ideas. The sky surrounding the stylized women contrasts greatly with the surroundings of the exhausted men. The dark hues establish heavy visual weight below the figures and the light tones of the sky create a sensation of weightlessness and help to further distinguish the fantasy like qualities. Liu also includes the application of analogous colors, primarily to make the traditional figures less dramatic and to help unify the surrounding

    Giannetti defines mis en scene as, “the phrase that refers to the arrangement of all the visual elements of a theatrical production within a given playing area” (50). This French theatrical term provides an understanding of the meaning of arrangements the director chooses to place in the frame and where they are located. While mis en scene can be analyzed in any film, we looked at The Sandlot and The Longest Yard for strong examples. The Sandlot (1993) directed by David M. Evans is a film about a new kid, Scotty Smalls, moving to a new town and trying to befriend the local boys and finding a love for baseball while playing for the Sandlot team.

    The set that Sam designed for the various scenes in Spider-Man is realistic and makes the viewer believe they are real, although, in the wrestling scene, Sam managed to make this scene and the scenes leading up to it so realistic that the audience don’t think that they don’t have planned wrestling matches in America. Mise en scène includes this and is one of the very useful techniques, and can have an overwhelming effect on the viewer, as everything that is on the screen at any one time is there for a reason, and has a meaning. It gives the viewer information on the surrounding area or people. For example, if the kitchen cupboards are meant to be white, but are a yellowy brown colour, this could mean that the person smokes a lot, or that they aren’t very clean. This is used to its full potential in Spider-Man as the director makes sure the viewer can understand everything about Peter, and give them an idea of what they are aspiring to be. Peters room is a typical sized, single bedroom, but in it there is things you wouldn’t think Spider-Man would have in his room. Like a computer and lots of factual books, but this helps create Spider-Mans...

An example of the use of mise-en-scene and also lighting used throughout the movie is when the characters are inside the matrix. The camera has a slight shade of green on everything during the scene. This could be identified as mise-en-scene. The green lighting is used to inform the viewers that the scene is taking place inside the matrix and it could also be a form of a lighting technique.
