Mis-en-scene within a horror movie

Setting:

Cabins (evil dead)
Secluded houses ( friday the 13th and the conjuring)
Mansions
Motels/hotels (the shining and room1408)
Schools (nightmare on elm street, cabin fever)
Woods (dog soldiers)

In the clip i have chosen which is the conjuring the setting begins with a large family moving into a house but we all know what that really means, it connotes that they are moving into a haunted house. Another setting in the conjuring is the basement. That also connotes in horror movies that something bad and scary has happened in there.




Props:

Dolls/Teddybears
Rocking chairs
Baby cribs
Abandoned cars
Weapons

In the clip i have chosen almost all the props have a connotation. The first one is a old looking wardrobe. It connotes that it has something evil inside. Another one is a cross. The cross connotes that is a religious symbol and it is to stop something bad from happening.

Hair/make-ups:

Long black hair- white dresses
Possessions- Eyes, scars, dirt

In the clip i have chosen the women that is possessed looks like a tramp with messy hair, pale skin and devilish eyes.

Facial expression/body language/movement:

Wide eyes
Slow movements

Lighting and colour:

Dark lighting
eerie colours

The lighting in the clip ihave chosen connotes that something evil is going to happen and when it happens nothing will be able to stop it.




                                                Setting:

In this image this shows the new family entering their new home thinking its a dream house. It also shows natural light from the sky which is all bright connoting it must be a good house but we know its not. It also shows the children looking happy thinking this is the home for them. This could probably connote that the children have had bad experiences with a home but now they have finally found the one for them.


                                    Props: 

In this still this demonstrates the use of how props make the scene eerie. In this scene the wardrobe magically opens then popping out of the wardrobe is a pair of hands clapping which relates to the game they're playing.





                                 Lighting: 

In this scene it shows the haunted house in a dark mysterious light which automatically connotes to the audience that this house is going to be haunted. Also its got dead trees around the house with dead branches that connotes that its a dead kind of area and people die.
Just looking at the house you can see that their is no house around which connotes that it has been isolated and left alone for a reason.

An Independent Scotland?

Scotland want to be independent. so they've released two campaign videos. The first once is the yes campaign asking the scottish public to vote for an independent scotland and the other is better together.

On watching the yes campaign the views of young voters are kind of being indoctrinated by the scottish mps. All it is doing is making England sound like it doesn't want to have scotland joined up with England. In other words they are trying to say that whilst they have been with us we have been taking everything from them.

http://www.bettertogether.net/   This is a campaign video saying that we are better combined.

 

The scottish independence:

1. The issue- Around a third of Scotland's 4 million voters believe that scotland should leave the u.k and become independent, ending the 305 year old politician union with England.

2.A brief history- Scotland's relations with its larger neighbour have often been difficult. none more so than in the 'wars of independence' 700 years ago led by william wallace and then robert the bruce. He defeated edward ii, then attempting to subjocate scotland, at banncokburn in 1314.

In 1707, that union was cemented by scotland and england's political union, forced on scotland in part by a financial crisis following the abject failure of its colony panama.

In the 1800's Scotland's economy strengthened, its cities boomed and its citizens took a leading role in the british empire.

3. What will happen next? - Salmond is in talks with david cameron, the prime minister, about securing the legal powers that Holyrood needs to set up the referendum. Salmon wants to pass legislation in november 2013 but laws affecting the u.k's constitution are reserved to the u.k parliament.

4. What does it mean for us?- Someone born in scotland: It should mean a greater direct say over one's government and more political freedom, but also greater economic risks, less security and more differences with England.

Non-scottish Uk citizen: Not a great deal, but the UK economy will be smaller, oil and whisky may be expensive, British identity will be diluted and britain status overseas will be weaker.

5. Key players- Alex salmond: Scotland's first minister since 2007 and leader of the national scottish party.

David cameron: The prime minster of England.

Alistair darling: The former labour chancellor of the exchequer and an Edinburgh lawyer.

Menzies campbell: The former liberal democrat leader is drafting out a new blueprint for scotland.

Johann larmont: The little tested ability of the recently elected scottish labour party leader to rally and direct her party could prove crucial for the u.k.

Apparently Scotland's oldest resident does not like the idea of splitting.

My opinion is this: I couldn't care less whatever happens. If Scotland want to be independent they can.
