POSTER: Setting up Mise en scene

Mise en scene was key in order for us to give an insight to the audience into what is inclined to happen within the film. The image on the poster consists of a young girl with her back facing towards the viewers, this produces an enigmatic feeling which draws in an audience as the restricted view of her facial expression keep viewers unaware of her emotions. The girl is seen within the setting of a bedroom, which expresses an idea of a domestic, family home. The girl is pictured in her pajamas, this highlights her innocence and young age. She is seen holding a pair of scissors, this prop conflicts with the previous thought of her young age and innocence, which may spark interest for the film. We wanted the scissors to remain a part of focus as they are important within the story, yet the image of a child with scissors can produce an interest for the audience as these are not commonly related together. This symbolic use of props also produce interest from a wide range of people as its danger as this may evoke feelings of uneasiness. However the sight of scattered torn pieces of paper around her, may help us evaluate the situation, and may represent her scattered thoughts and feelings. We wanted to ensure that our poster, drew people in, and gained their attention.
