Whole Group Task 1 - Prop Ideas

Prop ideas –

We didn’t want to use many props as we wanted the beginning two minutes of the film to be significantly fast paced and we thought using too many props could take away from that. However we did want to uses phones for FaceTime to bring another element into the film.

The film I chose to use was Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986).  Mise-en-scene This clip is set within a classroom, which is a typical location in teen films. I would guess this scene is to help set the scene for the film. The hair and makeup, as well as the costume is very standard for the era the film is set in, and made in, which is the 1980s. There are very large hairdos such as the one 'Adler' has. You also get the common stereotype from American high-school films of certain people like the 'jock' wearing a varsity jacket. In this scene we don't see many props barring pens which further emphasizes the dull nature of school and that no-one wants to be there. The lighting is fairly standard and appears to be
