Mis-en-scene element(portfolio project)

 This blog post is going to be about my props and costuming. In my previous post, I talked about my locations and costuming. However, this post will be about how my characters will come to life with the costuming and props coming together. The idea for my male protagonist in the climax of the film opening is to have warm hues in his wardrobe. So with my outfit already inspired, as mentioned in my previous post I have done more research. Men in the 1970s wore bellbottom jeans with bottoms ups top downs. Many mismatched outfits showed others how you liked to be dressed. For my male character, I want a statement piece collar with light blue bellbottoms and his hair combed over to the side, as most men wore it in the 70s.

For my props, my female character will be having a type of bag that has trickets, particularly falling out of it. I want flowers, cds, and tickets, based on the storyline, to be in her bag but for the audience to see. This will create an interest in my male protagonist and show the audience why he has a liking for her. Research shows that props, particularly in romances, are supposed to symbolize emotion and the atmosphere of the scene within the film. Which shows that the props that I want for my woman lead will be perfect, as they are subtle for the opening and will be effective for the storyline to come.

This is from the famous movie Titanic. The necklace shown in this image is a significant part of this film connects the beginning of this film to the end when the credits roll.
