mise-en-scene II

Planning post focusing on mise-en-scene element (costume, set, props, lighting, etc.) 

Scene 2 is the party scene, it follows Scarlett entering the party and trying to find Ricky. The house has three areas; the pool area opens from the front door; the scene begins with her outside the front door. She is going to be wearing black, symbolizing how she is now more mentally aware than ever that their relationship is toxic. She is grieving the love lost. Ricky, who we will see nearing the end of the scene when he says hi to scarlet and welcomes her into the party, will wear white this contrast from his first scenes red outfit will symbolize how it is his time to play the perfect apologetic innocent boyfriend. (If only this was the type of boy that lasted because that was the boy she fell in love with.)

Scarlett begins outside the front door facing away from the camera, she walks through the door and the camera follows her, the camera cuts so we can now see her face navigating her way through the party and we can now see a scar on her face from when the bottle cut her face. The lighting is low in this scene and there's some colorful lights dotted around from the DJ booth, there are people talking in the background and there are a few who she waves at. She continues walking through another door, entering inside the house, and sees people sitting on the sofa ext, she walks out the back of the room, into the third area, into garden and looks around. the camera then captures her small shift from comfortable to anxious expression when she sees Ricky walking towards her. He is waving and she grabs her arm as a sign of distress but perfectly masks her anxiety with a forced smile. 

All of this will contribute to the perfect scene that we cant wait for you to watch!!
