Mise-en-scene Props and Lighting

    The props chosen by my group are a doll, a tie, and fake drinks (substituted with apple juice to look like alcoholic drinks). In addition, the doll we are buying is a plain and regular doll that we are planning to cut, scrape, paint, and mess up to look more eerie and like a conventional horror symbol. The tie will be taken off the main character in the bar during the scene, and later used to put around the doll's neck and hang it from a tree when it appears in the film to implement an element of horror and surprise. The main character will drink the apple juice and act out the effects of being drunk.

    Furthermore, the bar scene will be dimly lit and brown, so it can set the low tone that will continue on for the rest of the film's opening. After the bar scene, the set will change to that of the woods at night with the scary vibe of an empty dark forest. But, for the bar, we would prefer the color scheme to be dark brown and dim, this may be not easy to find within the town center but we will try our best as a group.

    Given this previous setting, the forest will similarly be dark and dimly lit as filming will take place at night. Forests at night are already scary, so the addition of the doll will play into the horror effect. The transition of the two scenes will also be smoother due to the fact that the colors go with each other.
