Mise-en-scene recreation planning

 1) Get into groups of up to four. Note: although the planning and filming can be done as a group, all students MUST edit their OWN version of the chosen scene. Make a note of who you are working with.

I am working with narissa,ramla,iklas

chaacters:

regina-narrisa

gretchen-ramla

karen-ikhlas

katie-shymia


2) Create a plan of how you will do the recreation using CLAMPS. For each aspect of mise-en-scene, work out how you will recreate it as accurately as possible to the original. 
  • Costume: casual school clothes-blouses,skirts,jeans
  • Lighting-high key lighting throughout the whole of my clip
  • Actor placement, movement, expression-sitting down in a cafeteria
  • facial expressions-desperate,confused,welcoming
  • Make-up and hair-
  • light makeup +neat hair-mean girls
  • katie-bun + no makeup
  • Props-cafeteria plate ,food and drinks
  • setting-cafeteria

4) Film your scene using one of your phones - we have phone tripods you can sign out from Mr Ray in DF06 if you need one. Alternatively, you can sign out a Canon DSLR if you'd like a more cinematic experience. 


Shot list:

-behind the shoulder shot-between Regina and cady in order to capture their conversation

-extreme close up of cady-shows her looking at her friends

-long shot-displays cady sitting down with 'the plastics'

-close up-displays Regina and cady having a normal convsation

-long shot-of cady friends and how they call her to go sit with them


5) Edit your video to recreate 30-60 seconds of the original clip as accurately as possible. Add music if it is in the original scene. 

original clip:
1.15-1.51

6) Export your finished video, upload it to YouTube and post it to your blog along with a 100-word explanation of your work.

This is my recreation of the mean girls cafateria scene.I chose this scene because the setting is easy and this scene has always been my favourite of the show.I think that the plot of the cafeteria scene is very interesting because it portrays our school highly as everybody has their own different groups.Furthermore I think the concept of mean girls is interesting because it shows how different groups can effect the person you become.The use of cady sitting with 'the plastics' instead of her 'weird' friends' displays that their power as they are popular influences her.I overall see this scene as the start of manipulation from the plastics.
