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
