    Mise-en-

    scene
    Ashamae Swyer
    Costumes
    As a group, our main
    idea for Karina and
    Haydens costume was
    to present a binary
    opposite between the
    living and death in a
    visual form, as Karinas
    costume has dark
    colours, opposing the
    lighter colours of
    Haydens costume.
    Costumes (cont.)
    As for Haydens sister
    and the Teenage Girl,
    their costume choices
    were intended to show
    that they were ordinary
    people, living in the
    reality that Karina fails
    to grasp.
    Locations
    The locations that were used for our final
    version of the film all individually played a
    significant part of creating continuity in the
    film.

    191 Somerville Road Gives the audience


    a sense of Karinas personality, and
    provides a backstory for the character.

    Barkingside Park Shows the audience


    how the couple interact, and provides a
    romantic setting for the couple to express
    themselves.

    Barkingside Cemetery Juxtaposes the


    park, creating a darker, bleak tone. Also
    provides closure for the narrative.
    Props
    Many of the props used hold much significance in the short film
    and are used multiple multiple times throughout.

    Bouquet of roses This prop is an important symbol of love


    that is used and seen in many ways throughout the short
    film, i.e. flower-themed wallpaper. The use of roses/flowers
    is prevalent in Romantic Dramas, such as Titanic (1997).

    Heart-shaped locket The necklace can be seen many


    times throughout the short film, used as another symbol of
    love. The necklace also holds particular sentimental value
    to Karina, as it signifies that she and Hayden have for each
    other.

    Haydens Funeral Programme The use of the funeral


    programme helps to introduce the darker themes that
    would be associated with the Drama aspect of the hybrid
    genre.

    Karinas iPhone While being used to maintain continuity


    within the narrative, it is also a form of communication that
    Karina uses to speak to Hayden, indicating her
    unwillingness to let go and move on.
    Character Positioning
    The protagonists are very close in
    proximity to each other from
    Haydens entrance in Scene 3,
    which is depicted as another visual
    representation of their love, but
    also of Karinas fear of letting him
    go. However, the couple can be
    seen standing further apart from
    Scene 5 towards the end,
    signifying that while Karinas love
    for Hayden is still as strong as
    before, she has learned to accept
    his passing and is finally beginning
    the process of moving on.
    Lighting
    While high-key natural lighting
    was used throughout filming
    to produce clear footage,
    during the editing process the
    lighting was made a lot darker
    (particularly from Scene 5 at
    Barkingside Cemetery). This
    was done to symbolize the
    character of Karina developing
    along with the narrative as
    she learns to accept that
    Hayden has passed.
    Colours
    Like the lighting, the colours within the scene were
    also edited to make them more prominent within
    the scenes. The colours within Scenes 1 to 4 are
    warm-toned to symbolize the Equilibrium and
    show that Karina is happy with Hayden. For
    Scenes 5 and 9, the colours are very dull, showing
    the shift in Karinas state of mind, although the
    roses are still vividly-coloured, as a sign of their
    importance. Unlike the other scenes, Scenes 6 to 8
    are completely devoid of colour, presented with a
    black-and-white overlay used to signify that they
    are flashbacks.
