The film scene i am going to analyse is from the film Dragons Forever, the fight scene between Jackie Chan and Benny Urquidez. The scene begins with a minor chord sound which gives the indication that danger is about to occur as the so called villains circle Jackie Chan. Also the sound used could be used in the scene to build suspense and builds tension for the audience. Next Jackie Chan and Benny circle each other building more suspense by holding the chord and letting it ring throughout this part of the scene. The fight begins at a fast pace and with the pace of the fight, movements of both of their hands create over exaggerated sounds, but are used to emphasise the manner and build up more suspense for the scene. Once the fight is underway Jackie Chan gets a whack in the face and begins to bleed. At this moment a sound that maybe used to give the sound of a heart beat is heard. I believe it has been put in to emphasise the importance of the fight for Jackie Chan i think the heartbeat sound is for Jackie. In the scene whilst the two are fighting props or so called scenery come into play when Jackie is put on the boiler and then on the floor, when the two props are brought into use in the scene the noises are not realistic as they are overexaggerated. The scene carrys on with overexaggerated sounds of the fighters movements. The sounds give the scene more life and could build up tension or even ruin the scene, but in this case i believe it was a bit of both as the some sounds are over exaggerated are these sounds therefore take the realism out of the piece.

Review- You, me and Dupree
You, Me and Dupree is a comedy film released on July 14, 2006. It is directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, written by Mike LeSieur, and produced by Mary Parent, Scott Stuber, and Owen Wilson.The film revolves around newlyweds Carl and Molly Peterson (Matt Dillon and Kate Hudson). After Carl's best man and best friend Randolph Dupree (Owen Wilson), loses his job and apartment, the couple allow him to move in but Dupree inevitably overstays his welcome.
I really enjoyed watching this film because of the great story of the film as it made me laugh constantly scene after scene and i would recommend it to all age groups as it has adult humour, childrens humour and would be a great film for the whole family. I also enjoyed the film because it makes you laugh and after the film you continue to smile when thinking about it.

Analysing Mise-En-Scene
For my own analysis of a Mise-En-Scene clip i chose from one of the Bourne films starring Matt Damon.
First of all the scene was set in a ordinary hotel room in Paris and this shows the scenes realism as its not over the top but like any hotel room would look. The hotel room only shows Jason Bourne and the girl in the room and the mood is calm and quiet, this indicating that a action is straight around the corner. Also becuase of the scene is set in a foreign country it also makes the characters within the scene unsure as well as the audience watching as it makes you feel like something is going to happen. The costumes in the clip were also showed alot for the clip. Jason Bourne is wearing all dark casual clothes, clothes in which he is flexible and able to move. Jason Bournes wearing of the dark colours could also reflect his character. The Hitman who bursts into the scene is also wear very casual clothes and for me this could indicate that the hitman keeping his identity hidden from the people of paris although the scene is only in the hotel room. the costumes and props are plausible as it is realistic, from the placement of the lamp to the the little table shown in the scene. The performance from the characters in the scene was also very good. Jason Bourne was calm throughout and even at the begginging of the scene on two seconds when he has a growing suspition of the window, he is allways calm about the matter and never shows no emotion. In comparison to the girl who shows her facial expression in a close up of her before and after the hitman bursts through the window, As on four seconds it shows she is calm and relaxed but this suddenly changes on thirteen seconds when she is know worried and scared. The bad man just looks evil with his gun, he looks evil with his scruffy look and looks like whatever happens he has his job to do and he will definatly finish it. The fight scene begins on twenty seconds and into the fight we see the fight close up to show the moves used by both characters to build the intensity of the fight, also the scene is also has light in my opinion to show the whole scene, props ETC. Finally some of the sound mix was over exaggerated, like the knife as when you move a knife there is hardley a noise produced where in the scene it is completly exxagerated on forty-seven seconds and this therefore not believeable. At the beigginingof the scene when the hitman comes through the window the sound of the smashed glass alerts the audience into exictment
