Mise-en-scene recreation: Learner response

1) Type up your feedback from your teacher in full.

WWW :good CLAMPS plan and shotlist, good setting, good facial expressions, good props, canned laughter, good costume, lighting was accurate, accurate angle shots

EBI : audio levels need adjusting 

2) Type up a summary of the feedback you have had from the rest of the class - bullet points is fine.                                             

 -  good script + plan ( CLAMPS )                                                
 -  great acting / emotion
 -  good setting ( lockers )
 -  accurate costume
 -  good lighting
 -  props was good

 - facial expressions were good

 - canned laughter added ( identical to original scene )

 - audio levels need to be better

3) Use all the feedback you've been given to write your own self-assessment of your video using WWW and EBI 

What Went Well (WWW):
My recreation went well overall because I had a good script and a clear plan, which helped everything run smoothly. The acting was great and matched the mood of the scene well. The setting by the lockers worked really effectively and suited the theme as the real scene had lockers behind. I also made sure the costume was accurate for the character and colour matched it to each one, which helped make the video more realistic. The lighting was good and made the scene easy to see, and the props (poster, locker design, phone) made the scene as accurate as possible.

Even Better If (EBI):
The main thing I could improve is the audio levels. In some parts, the sound wasn’t very clear, so I could use a microphone, making sure the audio is consistent and would make the overall quality of the video even better.

4) Now reflect on your own work in more detail. How did your planning (script, shot list) help clarify and develop your ideas?

My planning, including the script and shot list, helped me clarify and develop my ideas by giving the video a clear structure and direction. Writing the script allowed me to plan dialogue. The shot list helped me visualise how the video would look, choose effective camera angles, and make filming more efficient. Having both of these plans made the filming process smoother and more organised, allowing me to focus on improving performance, lighting, and props to create a more realistic final piece.

5) Thinking technically, how could you improve your work for future videos? (E.g. filming, editing, audio levels etc.)

To improve future videos, I would focus on balancing the audio levels to make voices clearer and more consistent, I could do this by adding clip on microphones so that the sound maintained clearer.

6) Finally, what have you learned regarding the importance of mise-en-scene in film and television? Write a paragraph to answer this.

I’ve learned that mise-en-scene  is really important in film and TV because it helps tell the story visually and makes the audience feel more connected to what they're watching. CLAMPS all work together to create the right mood and atmosphere. For example, bright lighting and a vibrant colour scheme can make a scene feel happier and energetic. Whereas, dark lighting (low-key) and dull colours can create a tense or mysterious mood. While costumes and props help make the characters and story feel more realistic, and can especially hint to the time period. The setting also helps the audience understand where and when the story takes place. So, good  mise-en-scene makes a big difference in how professional and engaging a film looks, and it helps the audience connect more with the story without needing everything to be explained through dialogue.
