My chosen TV Show: Supernatural

Mise-en-scene.
Location- As the film title suggest the Clip is about all things super natural, the location in this clip is set in some form of shed or garage that looks old and empty until they characters turn up. There is star painted on the wall which is normally associated with pagan festivals and dark magic. The setting encourages for something to happen which will make the audience jump, which fits to the genre: Thriller.
Props- Props that are used in the film are old pipes, barrows, paint pots, an old table. Typical things that anyone will find in an old garage, basically junk to make the setting feel more lifelike. The clothes that the characters are wearing indicate some social status in their lives, for instance they are wearing normal clothes eg T-shirt and jeans. This makes the situation they are in more lifelike and more realistic to the audience.
Costume- The man in the suit, in this scene this could mean that he has more power than the 2 boys, so the suit adds to image of ‘power’, and because the other two are wearing just normal clothes he looks more upper class, and with the upper class status there often comes power over ordinary people but this a supernatural thriller and the suit just adds to his image.
Lighting- The lighting in this clip is very dull and dark, especially in the corners of the room. The reason for this kind of lighting is for the audience to fell a dark atmosphere, create a mood, and to make it almost scary at the thought that something might jump out any second.
Use of colour: The colours used in this clip are dull and dark, again to make a dark atmosphere for the TV show. The TV show is about all things supernatural and normally colours associated with the theme are often dark and gloomy, which is incorporated in the clip.
Character Positioning- There are 4 characters in this scene, 2 of them is the main character and the one with the baseball cap on is on their side (only in this episode) the man in suit is the ‘bad guy’. The 3 ‘good guys’ or Protagonist are standing opposite him. The Bad guy (in this scene) has a hold over the good guys, as you can tell by their body language, The protagonists are going on their knees-bowing down to him .The audience can tell that the 3 characters dislike the man in the suit, by the body language they give out- which is negative and by the facial expressions they look angry and nervous of the events that unfold.
Camera Shots/Angles- The main shots that are used are:
Bird’s eye view- 0.06-0.07 (time) Medium close up- though out the film Two shot-0.04-0.05 (time) Close up- Part of a conversation though out the clip Over the shoulder shot (These camera shots are used a lot in this clip, so many times that I could say the exact times)
Sound-
The sound used in this clip is Digenetic (the character can hear the sound). There is no Non-Digenetic music in this clip.
Movement:
There is not much movement in this clip. The 3 protagonists are in one corner and the antagonist is on the other side of the shed/garage. The only other movement is when 2 of the 3 characters go on their knees. The feelings/atmosphere that comes through is the good guys are nervous at the events that will unfold, this makes the audience tense at the action that will happen. You can also tell that the charaters are nervous because their facial expressions show that they are nervous, the audience can see this and will react to this.
