Sample of Exam

 In this 5 minute clip of agent Carter we get multiple shots of angels and compositions, multiple cuts as well as transitions and to top it all uff we also get sound and mise-en-scent on the side. With this being a marvel clip me start off with the classic close up with the multiple comics with the background sound of pages being flipped then a transition to the word. MARVEL all chining into theme if its made by Marvel audience is going to love this. Then it moves to a highkey lighting with multiple close shots between Captain America and Meggie and their dialogue showing these two have a strong hand with and unather. moving forward we proceed to see a eyeline of captin America and a picture of Meggie giving Audience a hint that these two are lover creating a more sadden mood within the audience as they know what's to come. We then get two more close up of the twos married face creating. A relationship with some people in the audience who lost a love one due to war or any other rea

Mise en Scene Blogpost

For Mise en Scene we only had to keep it simple with just costumes no props like tables or anything so thankfully we just had costumes to make the production cheaper and quicker to produce our scene for our project called "Sugar Rush" but regarding the title you'd probably expect people dressed in candy suits with our props being giant candy cane axes or swords shoot maybe even bows made out of I don't know gummy bears but no we had a nice black shirt and hunter hat for actor 1 (Michael) to play the role as a hill billy redneck actor 2 with a cheap blue vest from Walmart that only cost 8 cents apparently to help fill the role as the clerk and we had nothing for actor 3 as we only filmed her hands as it's supposed to be a secret witness. So sadly nothing candy related at least production-wise :C

Sound

To start off For our sound we searched up Erie/dark mellow sound for our Cambridge opening scene project "Sugar Rush" we wanted our audience to feel reeled in a little scared and focus as in most horror movies for example "Friday the 13th" they have their own horror sound that's recognizable by most to let people know Jasons here and to be more interested in what's happening and that's what we tried for too but except with it being horror or any knives with a 6ft tall unkillable person that's chasing after you to kill you and everyone in his path. And with most documentary's we've seen the music always been kinda serious and dark to build this serious atmosphere to show the situation at hand was serious matter so that the audience could respond back by listening and being reeled in just like how I described with horror movies so we wanted ours to be the same for the mockumentary.

Main Protagonist

To start off in our film "Sugar Rush" there wasn't that "main guy" or side characters all 3 of us Michael, Me, and Johlissa (simply my teammates) were all main characters you could say. And with each of us we were as our characters we were trying to articulate how the incident that happened at the store and state how it affected us or traumatized us as some people call it and how we will never forget what happened and will tell close friends and family about this story and with telling our story we were also trying to get across that life isn't promised we can die over the stupidest thing like a burglar wanting a candy and will shoot somebody about it and how robberies and a person getting harmed isn't something to poke fun at or laugh at due to how you would feel if you were getting robbed at? If your life was on the line? Now it isn't funny. Everyone lacks that empathy till it's there turn to get the bad end of the stick. Now our characters sup

Color and Lighting of Film

The color and the lighting of the film help make our mockumentary dark and eerie as well as mysterious and it helped make the viewer believe that the event the witnesses had to go through was rough and tragic. Making the audience feel sadden and their heart throbbing if it was a real documentary but it isn't so they probably had a more of a stunned feeling due to how our color scheme and lighting we used which was mostly low-key lighting during our interview since with most documentaries their never bright they always have bleak clothing and the backgrounds are all dark so the audience is more focused on the person and what they're saying morethan anything else at the moment and high key lighting during the "Everglades Ranch" to give audience a time of day the crime was taken place giving a indication that our robber don't care what time it is he needs his CANDY >:D but continuing
