Blog Post # 16 Mise-en-Scene in Film Part: Two

Today I will be continuing my blog on Mike-en-Scene in Film.


For example, The Mise-en-Scene used in this scene specifically the setting conveys the small-town presence through the house being directly behind the baseball fields. This conveys that the location is in a urban neighborhood and that they are just trying to have fun. This location factor also helps tie to the plot of the film whenever a ball goes over the fence and into the creepy houses yard. This allows for the following sequence to occur with the kids attempting to get the ball that had babe ruth's autograph on it from the backyard. Also, the use of vines and dull colors, it helps express the lifeless coloring of the creepy house in contrast from the lighter and more colorful baseball field. Also, through the house being there throughout the plot structure of the film it helps build suspense as to what the kids may have to face on the other side if a ball went over.



This connects to my film because the costuming and setting in the first two minutes and also sometimes throughout the film will be similar in order to create a connection with the audience with something as simple as the clothes that the characters wear, and also the area that the filming takes place. This connection with my audience should allow for my film to reach a larger audience and represent more people. Weather that is athletes, people from small towns, or even people who just like the costuming. The first two minutes being able to connect with the audience so early can help hook the viewer into watching the whole film and stay entertained throughout.

  Today I will be talking about social media and its affects on our perspectives. So, everyone that we know and mostly everyone in our world uses social media for everything from sports to politics. This use of social media can help us in many ways such as staying up to date on the current fashion trends, helping us stay entertained with fun videos, and even helping us with day-to-day situations through tutorials. That being said social media can also cause many people to unfortunately suffer at the end of social media. This includes spreading mis-information, cyber bullying, and even identity theft. So with that being said let's look at some ways that social media can hurt or help athletes across the globe. An example of social media helping athletes is Ja Morant, where his highlight plays throughout college helped him develop a name for himself as a highlight reel machine and this helped attract the attention of NBA scouts. He wasn't in a flashy college like Duke or Kan...

Blog Post #6 Sports in Film

Today I will be analyzing The Longest Yard, which is a Sports Films and how it is good at helping convey the other genres in that film through its different micro elements, specifically Mise-en-Scene. The Longest Yard The Longest Yard is a football movie that is centered around a star quarterback who got into trouble with the law, this getting him arrested. Then this brings up the location which is centered in a prison with the quarterback ("Paul Crewe", The main character) having to put together a football team to compete with the guards of that prison. This is because the prison wants to humiliate the prisoners and make it seem as though they are nothing compared to the guards of the prison, it will also re-assure the public about their prison security and their overall security system. But that doesn't go as planned because the "Coms" win and prove everyone wrong, becoming the crowd favorite and partially restoring their public image in the process. This conn...
