Practical Task 1

Equilibrium - Boy is in school with other pupils; it's a busy corridor.

Mise-En Scene - The people in the shot are wearing school uniform to show that they are young. He is in a suit to show he is in sixth form and can be on his phone. It is an establishing shot to set the scene and show the characters' normal.







Disruption - The pupils vanish from         the corridor suddenly. Boy doesn't notice       because he is distracted by his phone.

Mise-En Scene - He has a phone as a prop so that he misses the change. It is an eye level shot.










Recognition - Boy looks up from his phone and sees the empty corridor.

Mise-En Scene - A wide/long shot to show the complete emptiness of the scene and the isolation he feels. The lighting is harsh as the situation is dire. If this were a moving shot the lights could flicker to create an eerie atmosphere.

Attempts to recover - Boy tries to figure out what happened and tries to get them back. 

Mise-En Scene - A computer and calculator suggest that he is smart and that he thinks the problem can be solved through science and maths. The setting has changed to a classroom. 

It uses an over the shoulder shot.

Recovery - He realises there is nothing he can do to get them back.
   

Mise-En Scene - Paper is crumpled around to show his failed attempts. His head is on the table to show he has given up. It uses a high angle shot.

                                                                               

                                                                            New Equilibrium - Boy accepts the fact that he either has to wait for them to come back or live his life alone. 

Mise-En Scene - Boy is hunched on the floor in despair. The setting has gone back to the first shot to bring the "film" full circle and show the audience that his new equilibrium is life without other people.

Here are some behind the scenes shots.
