Scott Pilgrim Trailer - Mise en Scene

Scott Pilgrim vs the World
Mise en scene






The director chose to make this shot's background dull to make sure your attention is on them completely and there clothes. The costume (specifically the shirt) that Scott is wearing is a soft blue that reflects his soft, sensitive personality, whereas Ramona's costume is a warm pink which implies she is much more confident. This can be backed up by the actor's postures. Scott is slouched and a little bit hunched over like he is nervous, but Ramona's shoulders are raised high and she is standing straight making her seem powerful.

  

This is probably my favourite shot since it is so simple but it tells us everything we need to know. They way Scott is motionlessly staring at the door shows that he is waiting for something important to come.


Even with all the lights in the background, this is still a perfect example of low key lighting because all we can really see of Scott and Gideon is their shadows and their swords. The way both swords are leaving streaks of light where they go shows that they are moving at extreme speeds contrary to how fast they seem to be moving in the film.


This is a great group shot of 'Sex Bob-omb' since you can clearly see the whole band as well as Young Neil (right) and a few members of the crowd. The spotlights in the back gives the shot very high key lighting as well as making the band look as if they are radiating light.
