Mise en scene in our production

Costume

• Leon – He will be wearing a hoodie, jeans and hi top trainers as this is what a typical lower class gangster wears.

• Jay – beige chinos, hoodie and mid tops. This is because he is a middle class character.

Lighting

• In the first scene when Leon picks up the props we will use high key lighting but for the rest of the scenes when the characters Leon and Jay are in the street we will use natural, low key lighting from the street lights at night.

Actors

• Leon – this character is going to be played by me. This is because this characters face is not scene and my face does not suit this genre.

• Jay – he is going to be played by Tony because Tony has the right style to be this character.

Make up

• No make up is going to be used in our film opening. This is because we’re keeping a natural look to it. Also its going to be filmed at night so our faces will hardly be seen.

Props

• There are a few props we will be using. The first scene involves picking up a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

• We’re also going to use an iPhone for when Jay is on the phone.

• Finally we will use a bag of sugar which is supposed to be drugs.

Setting

• It will be filmed in rough streets in Gainsborough but is supposed to be set in the suburbs of a city. We’re using these streets because it’s the typical place for this kind of behaviour to occur and is usually quiet of a night which is what we need.
