my own film idea- mise-en-scene

My film will be a romance rated 15, and it the plot will be as follows. It is set in the 1700's and takes place in a small town outside of London. Florence Bloom is a seventeen year old girl who lives just with her father, who is a clocksman, and she helps him and takes care of the house. Her life is plain and ordinary, until one day at the market, when she trips over someone. When she looks up she sees the handsome Andre Cordai, the son of a rich govener. As soon as their eyes hit each other they knew they were meant to be together. But after a few steamy encounters they know they can not be due to the laws of the land, which forbid the rich to marry the poor. He moves away to resist the temptation and marries, she also marries.

Three years later they both meet again in mysterious cricumstances, and even though they are both happily married with children they can not resist each other. So they have an affair, which only ends in disastor, as their partners find out and force them to be punished for their sins. They both get locked away in seperate parts of the country for five years. They find it hard, but their love for each other is what keeps them going. When Florence finally gets out she searches everywhere for Sndre, but no one will let on anything about him, until three months later when she finds his old friend, and he tells her that she is in france. So Florence gets a boat to france and when she finally finds him he is living in a large house, with a maid, and she finds out that he is paralysed, due to falling of a horse, who ironically he named Florence. So Florence stays with him to look after him for the rest of her life, even though he cannot move or talk.

This films will be shot in colour, but the colours used will all be old fashioned and so will the clothes worn e.g. black suits for the men, grey dresses and hats for most of the women, and a bit of colour for the rich women. There will be alot of grass and green scenery around as it is a quite town. The actors in the movie will be:

Florence Bloom- Scarlett Johansson

Andre Cordai- Chad Michael Murrey

(florence father)Steve Bloom- Tom Hanks

Florence Children- Abigail Breslin and Sloan Momsen

Andres child- Shane Kisman

Florence husband- Paul Walker

Andres Wife- Kate Winslet

There will be a reasonable amount of lighting in the movie, and alot of it will look like natural light (from the sun), in them days there were no actual lights so there can not be any signs of artificial light, anywhere. All of the transport around the town will either be walking or horse and carriage, or just horses, as there are no cars. The houses are all made from grey stone, there are no bricks in the houses. The movie will be very good and always old fashioned which means that no new props or gadgets can be used in it. Over all that is the mis-en-scene for my movie.

media- Movie scene

The movie that i am going to be comenting on is sin City and a scene from the begining. It is in a black and white camera effect and from a long distance camera shot we see a woman with a dark red dress on standing on top of a building and we hear a mans voice over talking (Josh Hartnett) The camera pans around the woman for about a minute and then it zooms in a little bit and turns around to reveal him walking up to her in a medium shot. The camera is at a face on angle, as we see Josh talking to the woman and trying to what looks like seduce her. But as the camera slowly zooms out it goes dark and then we hear and sort of see the man shoot her. All this is used to create a mysterious scene and it all looks very artistic but it is really about death and the camera angles and the shots really suit well with this.
