Mise-en-scene pt2

 Costume: For the costume of the characters in the film the parents are wearing torn up clothes of darker colors to emulate the mood of the horror that they are enduring. There will be blood splattered all over them, their clothes will be torn up as they break through the window. Their clothes will be darker because it matches with the other mise-en-scene elements such as the lighting and the fact that its the apocalypse. The son on the other hand would be wearing all black but will still have blood on him. Since he is the only survivor we feel as if his costume should be different in some sort of way even if it is just color. 

Composition: Everything will be placed in a certain way, and everything featured will have a meaning in the film. The knife that will be used will be shown in the beginning in a part of the frame to give subtle foreshadowing of the son soon wielding the knife as his weapon of choice. All of the blood splatters and and pools that there will be will not be random as they are going to emulate a story of their own. An example of this is the splatters on the clothes will show how they got injured and where. At the end of the film the knife will be placed strategically near a light source so that it could shine in a certain way and then a pool of blood will rush in engulfing the knife as a whole. This will all be planned and placed with all intention to make it look as real and dramatic as possible.
