Final Mise Decisions

For props, our final decisions were kept the same as our initial thoughts which was to have two guns, two iPhones, a mars bar and a brief case. We used Josh and Alex's phones as the props and Alex had a black bag which we used as the brief case because we couldn't get one for the task.

We used the iPhones for the phone call shots and at the beginning for when Pete received a text for when he was meeting Sebastian. We changed his phone background to him and someone else who represents his wife to foreshadow the story slightly.

We used the guns for the ending of the film opening when Sebastian and Pete meet up. We thought that having the guns before this point wasn't necessary as there was no reason to have them due to the storyline. We used them for the last shots as it was relevant for the guard to have one because its his job to protect Sebastian, and to make use of it we made the guard hold it up at Pete which is when Pete used the other gun.

We used this bag as the brief case throughout the whole film opening as it is an important subject towards the narrative which consists of it being delivered to Sebastian. It worked well for what we had as it wasn't specifically a brief case. For the last few shots in the meet up scene we had the mars bar inside an envelope which was inside the bag which were the extra props we used. The mars bar was important for the narrative as that is what was being delivered, and it represents the genre of comedy for the film.

For the lighting, we want to film during the day and in the evening to show time passing by. For the first few shots we used natural lighting because extra lighting wasn't necessary and we were filming outside with enough light to see what's happening. When it got dark we used a range of slightly low key lighting in the shots of the sun setting and Pete walking to the destination to higher key lighting in the tunnel so it was clear for the camera to see what was happening. The tunnel had lighting in it which want we used and we used the lighting from street lamps and cars for when Pete was walking towards the tunnel.

We found the mise worked well for what we put together as we had a suitable amount of props that played a part for the narrative, the location suited the genre, and the lighting worked fine as we had a clear image of what was going on.
