Shoot Day: Mise-en-scene
Our makeup artist Sasha came in early in the morning, and we explained to her exactly what we wanted. We decided that we wanted a gash on the cheek, as well as a small cut on the lip and bloody bruised knuckles.
Charlie, our actor had brought in his own suit for the shoot. We told him to skew the tie up slightly, roll the sleeves and remove the blazer. All of this is to show that the character has been beaten up beforehand.
We thought about perhaps setting up an iron bar in front of some lighting, which would cast striped shadow in the set. This was to represent a jail door and connote to the audience better that he was in a cell. However, the shadows reduced the eery atmosphere and the feeling of isolation and claustrophobia no longer applied. Therefore we decided not to use these.
