Mise-en-sceney...basic ideas...

The Mise-en-scene
Characters

Sophie = She is a 14 year old girl suffering with major depression. She is also a victim of domestic violence. She self-harms to release the pain she is feeling. She is down and dejected the majority of the time, doesn’t enjoy life, cries often and gets angry easily.
Actors
I will be acting in it as the central character Sophie. We will also require two adults to play her parents.
Costumes
Sophie = jeans, long sleeves tops, little/or no make-up. The long sleeves top is because she wants to hide her scars, she doesn't care much about her appearance due to her depression so no make up a simple clothes. However we want to portray as a normal girl, so the clothes are going to be those that could be worn by a 14 year old.
Props
We will be using some equipment as props in our films opening sequence. We will need the following items:
Scissors = these are will be used to when we show a shot of the character Sophie cutting herself.
Diary = Sophie will be seen writing her thoughts down in a diary.
Cutlery and food = Sophie will be shown with her parents not being able to eat her food.
Music
We have been discussing music we will want playing for some parts of our opening film sequence. We came up with numerous song possibilities including ‘Concrete Angel’, ‘Low’, ‘Be my escape’.
However, as I can play the piano, we will probably record our own score for the film sequence.
