Mise-en-scene revisited

While I felt that I was exploring the concepts and principles of the mise-en-scene, and was applying them effectively, I felt that I was doing enough in terms of the camera. I was advised that the camera is an important part of the mise-en-scene, which is why I took an in-depth look into it in my thesis.

I didn't want to change what I already had for the sake of the camera, however, because it would look forced, and if something works, then it is generally best left alone. So instead, I decided that I could add to what I have.

The shot where the character looks at the moon provided the perfect opportunity for this, as it meant that I could employ a POV camera shot, which I touched upon earlier in a previous blog entry.

The shot would, of course, be from the character's point of view, looking at the moon.

The character will look up and at the moon, then it cuts to the POV Camera, and then back to the default camera.
