Mise en Scene- Mia and Jack

In order to emphasise the Christmas theme, we think using the typical colours of; green, red, gold, and silver, would be particuarly effective in signifying the event and the mise en scene around Christmas. We want to ensure that these colours are in most of the shots so the theme of christmas is conveyed throughout the film.
 
This image is obviously very Christmassy and We think it is important that the theme is emphasised as much as possible as it also reflects the family's thoughts and feelings towards the event - which are evidently positive. The young girl, in particular, is very excited for christmas up until the event of 'Santa' kissing the mother. We want to ensure that her positive attitude towards Christmas is portrayed throughout the film so the shock of the kiss shared between the mum and 'Santa' is dramatic and shocking for the child.

  1. Good discussion. Can you add comments about the ideologies of Christmas? For example - what would be relevant for you would be the ideal family Christmas, of which this is an example image. How about a screen grab from some recent ads incorporating the concept of ideal xmas? Consider also how you might deal with colour tones if your film appears too desaturated or 'cold' in colour.
