For our piece, we decided to create the action film movie entrance in an unconventional place, of a family home. Normally in action films, you will see locations in stereotypical dark ally ways or empty buildings, as it helps to create a tense atmosphere before a fight. However, we decided to use a family home, as it will be more of a surprise to the viewers, when they see a fight occur. I like it when films use unconventional places, as the moment comes unexpected. This, for me, creates more impact when the viewers see violence happen. A family home is somewhere people wouldn't expect to see a fight break loose, which means they hopefully will find it more interesting seeing a unique situation in this setting.
The pictures above shows some of our set up. Equipment included a tripod, for steadiness and increased height of the camera, and the camera, for our filming of the production.
Our set and props were something we felt was important in order to create a better mise-en-scene. The dining table and plates help to connote family and love to the audience, which is then twisted, at the sudden change of events. It brings the idea that the two girls would of had dinner and a relaxed evening, creating the idea of a loving family environment. This helps to create more of a contrast against the action filled evening the viewers find them having. It also shows that the fight was unplanned, as they had something else they were going to do. We lit the candles to also create the idea od a cosy setting, which was again ruined by the event of a fight.
