Mise-en-scene recreation - full task list:

 

1) Get into groups of up to four. Note: although the planning and filming can be done as a group, all students MUST edit their OWN version of the chosen scene. Make a note of who you are working with. 

For this practical  Task I filmed with Curtis  and had  used  my brother to film  the Rocky training  montage.

2) Create a plan of how you will do the recreation using CLAMPS. For each aspect of mise-en-scene, work out how you will recreate it as accurately as possible to the original. 

• Costume- for this  project I will  have my actor wear a grey  tracksuit to match Rocky's    outfit
• Lighting
• Actor placement, movement, expression- I will have my actor match Rocky's expressions and gestures   this is because it's a recreation.   
• Make-up and hair
• Props
• Setting I will  film  in as closely accurate  locations as possible to match the original media extract .

3) Write a script and shot list of every shot you will need for the 30-60 second recreation. Use as much detail as possible or alternatively take screenshots of the original scene to help you. Use the BBC Writers' Room script library to see what real film and TV scripts look like. For your shot list, you can create a table or list of every shot in the scene you are recreating. Here's an example from a previous Media student's coursework.

4) Film your scene using one of your phones - we have phone tripods you can sign out from Mr Ray in DF06 if you need one. Alternatively, you can sign out a Canon DSLR if you'd like a more cinematic experience. 

5) Edit your video to recreate 30-60 seconds of the original clip as accurately as possible. Add music if it is in the original scene. 

6) Export your finished video, upload it to YouTube and post it to your blog along with a 100-word explanation of your work.
