Pre-Production Mise-en-Scene

Costume What will your characters wear? What is the costume supposed to communicate to the audience? How does this link to your Statement of Intent in terms of creating representations? The characters will be wearing common street clothing you see around London which include tracksuits, hoodies and hats. However, some characters will be wearing balaclavas which indicate they are a danger. As 2 of the characters also play football, they will be seen in in football kits as it is equipment they need to play and keeps the realism within the shoot. Lighting How will you light your trailer? Day or night? Interior or exterior? If outside, can you use streetlights, shadows, reflected sunlight or other creative techniques to achieve the lighting style you want? If inside, experiment with creative lighting techniques using windows, blinds, artificial lights, phone flashes and more. As most of the trailer will be shout outside and I don't have access to lighting kits, natural lighting

Different decisions will be made which le
