Mise en Scene

For our documentary we had to consider the 5 key things as part of Mise en Scene. This wasn't something we could put much planning into which is why i am analysing it so late on. Due to the fact it is a documentary its not as if we had to build up atmosphere using these things, whatever was in out footage was there to observe and compare, everything was naturally done to enable us to look at the real life in the schools.
Costume- The obvious for this section is the uniform. It is easy to compare the quality of the uniforms from public schools to private schools and it is also obvious which is which due to the way the students wear it.

Lighting- This is all natural lighting too, however in some of the clips we will have to adjust the brightness to make it easier to see the action.

Acting- There is no acting in our documentary and nothing was scripted because it would have seemed more fake and things could have gone wrong.
Make-up - No make up was needed because we weren't trying to create anything funny/scary it is an expository documentary on real life in public and private schools.

Props - There was no need for props either, we filmed what was already on show.
Settings - Reeds School was setting 1 and Heathside school was setting 2, these two will be compared throughout the documentary looking at exam results too.
