Media Awards Video Analysis.

Inner Redemption -
In the short video, the mise en scene was smartly considered as they used great lighting, sound, angles, props, costume, make-up and actors.
They used low key lighting when the camera was looking directly at one of the actors, in order for the audience to focus on her and to notice her facial expressions which in this case was scared. This was a great affect as the audience were put into the actors shoes as we felt the emotion of the actor due being in direct contact with them. This is called identification. Also, the sound was well co-ordinated with each scene. For example, when a love scene came on, the sound was according to the scene which fit really well. Another time is when a horror scene comes on, the background music is of a nursery song which sometimes comes across as quite strange and scary. It worked well in the scenes of Inner Redemption as the audience were drawn into it as it turns into tragedy.

Furthermore, the props used were tarot reading cards which gave out an even more scary feeling as it showed the woman was able to tell the future of her life within those cards. The look on the actors face when she was reading them were very clear as the audience were automatically able to sense that something bad was going to happen. A dramatic cause was created when the actor stopped the entire meeting with the other actor because she witnessed a tragic cause in her life through the cards.
The costumes were well chosen as the actor reading the tarot cards was wearing a traditional outfit which made the scene more realistic.

Overall, the film was well worked on as the entire mise en scene was brilliantly done. The storyline was clear that she was forced to be with someone who was controlling and whom she didn't love. Therefore, she was in the process of committing suicide but did not proceed as a witness stopped her. In the end, she ends up killing her parter and ends up getting possessed. In addition, the possession scene worked well as the actor was giving direct mode of address which connotes confidence within the actor.

The Watchful Eye

The mise en scene was well done as the actors were well played as their aim was to act scared. The main actor who was the woman was confused as where her boyfriend/friend disappeared to after hearing a knock on the door. The lighting was efficent because it was slightly dark creating tension as to how she was scared.
This caused a great effect as the audience were drawn into the scene being in her position.
