Mise-en-Scene

Costumes-
Agent Morris (Sam Morris)
  • While in hiding- Casual clothes like t-shirt and jeans/shorts
  • When he reappears- In a full suit and tie (Black), ocassionally wearing sunglasses, and shoes
He wears clothes like this because it shows he is in business, and the suit makes him look smart and not out of place. Also this is a stereotypical view of an undercover secret agent. The shades are worn because it shows that he has a hidden identity.
Assassin (Joe)
  • Black suit and tie with a long coat and shades

All of these clothes together make him mysterious because you can never see what is behind the shades, and the suit and coat makes him look like he is on a mission. Also this is a stereotypical view of what an assassin would look like because of the dark colours and suit.

Other Agent (Steven Bourner)
  • In a normal black suit with a different coloured tie, wearing smart shoes as well

  • When assasinated he is wearing the same clothes but without the jacket/blazer, tie is scruffy or off

He wearing this because the suit shows that he is at a funeral and he doesn't look out of place. But he isn't wearing his jacket and his tie when he is assasinated because this shows that he isn't expecting it and he is in his own home.
The Boss

  • He will also be in a smart suit and maybe a smart coat

He will be wearing this because he is the leader of the assasins and has to look the part. This is what a leader/boss would be wearing because it is very formal.

Lighting-

The lighting is going to vary throughout the teaser trailer because there are many different shots. The main scene in the teaser trailer is the part where Agent Morris gets tortured, as this is going to be an intense scene, low key lighting will be required. However, at the start of the trailer where the funeral is taking place, the lighting will be natural becuase it is outside; we are hoping for a miserable day though so that the shot suits what is happening.

Many other shots in the trailer involve low key lighting but we are going to be adding light to it so that there is emphasis on a certain person. Because we have a varied amount of shots, there is going to be a lot of variance and the lighting will be different throughout the trailer.

Props-

As we are creating an action teaser trailer we have looked at the conventions used for this genre, therefore we will need to include certain props that show it is an action genre:

  • Weapons (Guns, knives etc- especially used in the torture scene)

  • Fake blood (Also for the torture scene)
  • Sunglasses (Used by the assassins to add mystery to who they are)

  • Briefcase/bags

These are the main props that we will be using becuase they will signify that it is an action genre and they will all enhance our teaser trailer by making it look more realistic.
