Mise-en-scene

Harry Watton

Lighting

The lighting at the start of the scene is very dark but with a orange glow around the girl and the cake. This is because Sarah’s wish was to see birthday party however we are still unsure what has happened. This also makes it look like she is ok because she is making a wish. After this there is green lighting to give us the impression there is something dark going to happen.

Location

The start of the scene takes place in a room which we have to presume is at Sarah’s daughters birthday. The second part is in a hospital which makes us immediately think something bad has happened.

Costume and Props

The props in this clip are the birthday cake at the start which signifies her birthday wish and gives us the thought she is ok.

In the second part the heart monitor indicates that something is wrong however we can clearly see that she is definitely alive but we can clearly see something is wrong at the same time.
