The poster conveys the mood of the video through an extreme close-up of the student rushing to complete the assignment, which creates a tense atmosphere. The proximity to the pencil adds to this tension, giving the audience a claustrophobic feeling providing a visual for the overall story.
The tagline captures the conflict by asking the audience the dawning question the audience is asking themselves while watching the video. Will he finish the work? It gives the audience suspense of what might happen in the story.
The mise-en-scène in my video is echoed in the poster through showcasing two of the main props as well as the image being lit in the harsh school lighting to remind the audience of the
setting. The mise-en-scène can improve for this video by making more intentional choices and small details that all connect to the story being told. While I thought the mise-en-scene in this project was not the strongest the story was being told around a school setting which is why some of the choices made did add onto the story such as the costumes being uniforms, giving the viewer the dead giveaway that the story is school related and the setting is in school with the props with schoolwork and a pencil as well as a backpack.
After completing and reflecting on this project I now understand to pay attention to small intentional details in my future projects mise-en-scene. I know now that elements from mise-en-scene such as costumes, props, setting and lighting as just as important as a camera angle can be to contribute to the story being told.
