LR for Half Term 1

LR FOR HALF TERM 1


Mise-en-scene


1. Lighting


The scene uses high contrast lighting. There are many cold blues within the scene but also bright intense reds from Darth Vader’s lightsaber.



This creates a dark intimidating image for the audience as Darth Vader’s figure appears with the harsh red light behind him causing him to look like a god. The colour scheme gives a sense of claustrophobia and intimidation to the audience.


2. Costume


Hero (Luke Skywalker): Luke is wearing a practical khaki/tan coloured jacket and trousers. His outfit has a pale colour to give connotations of being youthful, human and friendly.


Villain (Darth Vader): Vader is wearing all black clothing including a long cape. This covers all of his face and gives a feeling of being completely emotionless and very cold with a sense of fear as he looks like a machine.


Camera Shots & Angles


1. Camera Shots


Shot 1 (Medium Close-Up): This focuses on Luke’s face and shows his nervousness and fear when he turns on his lightsaber. This displays his determination inside.



Shot 2 (Extreme Wide / Establishing Shot): This shows how large the industrial setting of the carbon freezing chamber is. This makes Luke look very small and weak.



2. Angles


Low Angle Shot: The camera looks up at Darth Vader from Luke’s low perspective.



This creates a big visual impact on how tall and dominant Darth Vader is. This gives him complete power and authority over the young Jedi.


Audio


1. SFX


There are lots of sounds used throughout this scene. The hum of the lightsaber, loud bangs, hissing steam vents, mechanical noises and Darth Vader’s heavy breathing.


These sounds have been amplified to create a physical danger to the audience. The mechanical breathing from Darth Vader creates a psychological effect to maintain tension within the scene.


2. Silence


Throughout the start of the scene before the lightsabers turn on there is less aggressive music. There are loud humming noises.


This creates a creepy and suspenseful mood. The lack of audio creates a psychological impact on the audience to create maximum fear.
