To explore how mise-en-scene manipulates audiences by creating expectations.
Image 1
In he first slide of the Sherlock Holmes he
looks to be in a city museum or a giant structure alike to the right of the
picture you can see a lion this symbols power and pride plus British
colonialism, the power of the country that beholds them. The costume he is
wearing is very 1800’s because of the lack of colour and vibrancy in his
costume as a whole also the hats that are out-dated in a style sense they look
like working class men, maybe a Policeman or some one with the same stance of
authority. The colours used in the scene are quite bland and naturalistic and represent permanence especially the pillars in the background they represent foundation and strength from the bottom up like they are upholding something like a connotation maybe of British society also shown by the lion in the lower right corner of the picture.
Image 2
In the next picture they look to be set in
a church, we are shown this as there is a tall candle in the back of the image and a hint of purple from the off screen character (purple connotating high priests and members of the monarch in Britain). They look as if they look to be in mid conflict and then be shying away from a
priest type figurehead, as no one would hit a priest. Again the costume is very
1800’s and preppy this time almost as if they were at an event to then
continues on to a mission of sorts. They also look to be being cautious around
whoever or wherever they may be.
Image 3
In the third graphic it is on what looks
like to me a industrial street market setting shun with high key lighting the
black market looking set again represents us to the 1800’s looks as in the
previous graphics. His face and body shows us he is interested in the 18th
century style pocket watch and the man behind him looks like he has just seen
maybe a mark of somebody owning the watch or the sign of the manufacturer. the hint of blue shows the mid frame characters have a more relative importance than the other extras in the frame also showing they have authority either over all and or just over the object.
Image 4
The fourth graphic is interesting there is
a rebrand high key light shining straight on to him like a spotlight he looks
to have got into a fight club of sorts and due to the men surrounding him on
the edge of the “arena” I think he has not paid somebody back or something
along them lines. His body and facial expression show us his nerves, he looks
scared like he has to fight a seven-foot man again maybe one of the men he has
not repaid for a loan. Due to all the men behind him and there costumes I can
almost be certain now t is set in the eighteen hundreds to early nineteen
hundreds.
Image 5
On the fifth image Sherlock has a low key light
shun form the left of the image. Sherlock (man in the middle) is looking to
either be smuggling in something that is not allowed or the woman, the woman
looks concerned by what may be getting said, it may be about her and she
doesn’t agree with what he maybe saying. The an on the left is looking at
Sherlock as if to say “Are you serious” like Sherlock is going to do something
that can get him arrested or eve killed this would explain the expression on
the woman’s face. The woman looks innocent due to the white shirt but is
heavily pampered with make up this suggests that she could be well known or
just wont to look nice to get some attention from men.
Image 6
On the last graphic the image uses a
backlight from the window but has a high key lighting all-round. By Sherlock’s
body language it suggests they have just finished something that had great
strain on his body the way he is leaning back represents he is relaxed, but
contrary with that is his facial expression to me It show that he has had
another idea for a straining mission. His attire this time is very again
relaxed top few buttons undone and his hat off unlike the man on the left he
looks eager but not bothered at the same time.
