Mise-en-scene element #2

 As you have read my previous post, this will be a follow-up from yesterday and I will explain our second mise-en-scene element that's going to be in our film. The second element in our film will be the we are going to use is the props that's going to be in our film.

Props- 

 Props are also a crucial element when making a film as the props are meant to show that the items have meaning during the scene and throughout the film. Some props that we want to utilize during our film is the use of fake blood. Luis had a good idea to actually buy fake blood instead of using ketchup because he knew that using ketchup as blood just looks terrible. The fake blood in the film is going to show the blood of the parents after the zombies kill them. We are going to show stains of blood and I will show an example picture:

Another prop that we plan to use is the knife. If you could not tell by now after all my blog posts and the blog post right now, we plan to use a knife to show how the zombies kill the parents. Using a knife or a dagger is a very iconic weapon used in horror films and is something I feel like would be important to add on how people will die not just in our opening, but if this was going to be an actual film.

 

A good inspiration for a knife is the knife used in the movie Halloween which is Michael Myers' iconic knife.
