Balancing Mise en scene

Image
Welcome back to Mediafix ! Where you’ll be tagging along on my journey through the Aice Media Studies course. This post will demonstrate the different elements to mise en scene through still images.  Still image from Joker, release date: October 4 2019 This is a still image from a pre-existing media, it demonstrates contrast in mise en scene. The contrast helps guide the viewer to focus on the main character dressed in bright attire against the dull background.

Uploaded from Pexels    Now that's through, let's get to introductions. Although I can't  say my name, I can tell you a little about myself. If you know me,  you'll  know  I'm  into  good quality  films. This means I will not be wasting my time watching mediocre productions just because  they are  popular. I also love cats,  don't  get me wrong, dogs are awesome, but you  don't  have to take a cat for a walk. Now if  we're  being honest, I hope we can agree that fish are  ultimately the  worst pet.  Here's  a list of reasons why: They are NOT soft and cuddly, I...
