Evaluation

I am pleased with the outcome of my work because I feel that I addressed certain key points that are relevant to the mise-en-scene, and tackled them accordingly. I have documented my work in detail throughout the course of this blog, and was able to keep track of my progress, and backtrack to look at any areas that needed revising.

For example, the last minute inclusion of the POV shot where the character looks at the moon. I decided to include that after looking back through my blog entries, and noticing that I had spoken about different types of camera shots, but only focused on one.

I didn't address this about my work earlier, but the use of shapes had a significant impact on the message that I was trying to convey. I did draw a point from Pan's Labyrinth where round, curvy shapes appear around the character of Ofelia. I tried to a similar thing around my character with the use of vast numbers of bricks, which are square-like. Squares represent a box, and boxes are limited or restricted. The character is restricted in many regards on account of being in prison.

Ideas just came to me while working on this. I never planned on making the cell grey. That just came to me. I would like to work on something which has been planned from the very beginning, and to see if I can recreate the plan in an accurate way.

Having completed this, I will strive to work towards that goal.

Otherwise, my ambition of creating a story using the mise-en-scene in conjunction with the character has been fulfilled.
