Mise en scene

     I decided to comment on the mise-en-scène of the Marvel show, “Loki”.  I chose this show because it shows different types of sets, costumes, lighting. I also chose this show because it is well produced, and it's a marvel show. Personally I love Marvel shows and movies. Also, the show is really good, and I recommend watching it. 
     In season one, episode three, it opens with two ladies talking to each other in a restaurant. One of them is girl Loki and the other one is a future officer. The setting takes place in a bright lighting place. The mood looks happy. They're both talking and having a good time until something happens. Girl Loki asked a personal question and the mood changed. The lighting of the place also changed. It turned nighttime. The mood becomes tense, and girl Loki is pressuring the officer into saying some information that will help her. 
     The scene then cuts to girl Loki in the real world trying to brain wash the officer into telling her valuable information. They're in a dark room which symbolizes that something negative is happening. The lighting that this scene has fits. Girl Loki has a bright green light in her hands when she is trying to brainwash her. She is known as the god of mischief, so green is an appropriate color. 
     The rest of the officers soon later find out where girl Loki is located. This location is 20 years in the future where there will be a deadly hurricane. The mood is also intense and the sound of the thunderstorm makes the scene look more evil. The original Loki then tries to catch this evil girl Loki and they end up getting stuck in a different world where it's about to end. The lighting on this world where its hours before destruction if dark purple. I believe that this dark purple color corresponds with the mood and setting. 
     For the rest of the show these two Loki's try to figure out a way to escape this planet. Their main solution is to get on the boarding spaceship and making it leave the planet. To do this they have to travel to it (which is pretty far away) and enter it. Only rich people from this earth get to board it. In the end though, they do not get on the space ship, but they were very close to. The scene that this happens has a low angle shot of Loki looking up at the space ship. As he is looking, the space ship explodes and the sound and lighting of the scene makes the viewers believe that Loki and girl Loki will most likely die in this planet.

Review of a few Camera Angles in the Movie Spider-Man 3 (2007) From Producers Avi Arad, Grant Curtis, and Laura Ziskin

 Spider-Man 3 (2007) I chose to comment on a few of the camera angles in the 2007 movie “Spider-Man 3” because I love Marvel movies and especially the original Spider-Man movies. The producers that made this movie were geniuses. Their camera work was just magnificent. The movie had so many great, camera shots. Even though it had a lot of CGI, the camera angles were still excellent. It had a variety of different camera shots that were in articles  Different Camera Angles Create Different Emotions  and  Use of Long Shots in Film .  In this scene, Peter Parker, also known as Spider-Man, was having trouble sleeping. The reason behind this is that he was having a nightmare of his dead uncle. When this was occurring, a symbiote was consuming Peter. I love this extreme close-up shot because it shows Peter's horrified reaction and his eyes being in complete shock. The scene also ends in a head-on shot. This scene starts after the last scene ends. The scene starts with a...

Blog Post 1 - Beginning of Film

Image
  This week, the crew began filming. Because the story/film is mostly on high school sports, the majority of the filming took place during the school day. All of the angles we used were excellent. This is a perfect dolly shot where we see Brett talking to his classmate about an upcoming game. We picked this shot because the film will be school-related, the background clearly shows that it's on campus. This is an excellent angle shot of Brett's coach discussing what's next in his baseball career. This is one of the final sequences which is why we see him getting accepted to the Broncos. Their facial expressions are also visible from this viewpoint.

This is a different viewpoint that we utilised. This is the scene where Brett enrolls in his new school. We used props to make it look more realistic, as you can see.
