Mise-en-Scene

The main location in our film was Will's basement, however this seemed too clean and 'homely' as it was to be taken seriously. We therefore added broken glass, blood (which we made by mixing golden syrup, water and red food colouring) and showed the exposed piping, to create a feel of grime and help to foretell that the character will be killed. I think that it worked well, although we did have difficulties as there was a curtain next to where we were filming and there wasn't any other suitable position in the room which we could have used to connote the same messages. We got by this difficulty however with the framing of our shots.
