![]() This shot is a low angle long shot of a hearse with its door open. this is because it instantly shows where the show is set (with other areas of Mise-en-scene) and shows the morbid narrative and the genre. The gurney prop was an effective choice of props. For example the gurney would not have shown that this was a hospital or morgue alone, but with the corridor it look like that. Setting is important here for this shot as the corridor allows the other areas of Mise-en-scene to work better. This is important as from seeing this the audience can see what could be part of the narrative and the genre of the show. Lighting is used to show the afterlife through an extremely bright light so that the light is the end of the corridor, which silhouettes the man, connoting he may be dead. Mise-en-scene is used effectively with lighting, setting and props connoting key themes, narrative and genre. ![]() I think this shot was used to connote that the silhouetted figure is the soul of the man on the gurney and is trying to escape the light, which represents the afterlife, which could connote some of the narrative or themes. This shot is a close up, dolly shot of a hospital/morgue gurney travelling down a hallway but the camera is facing in reverse so that we see a silhouetted man walking away from a bright light at the end of a corridor. the single tree silhouetted against the sky connotes the tree is an important part of the narrative but also emphasises the empty sky, highlighting the theme of emptiness. Setting is also used effectively to show some of the narrative. Its important as in the first few shots the audience sees these hands and knows what the narrative will include the theme of death, which shows them the genre of the show. Make-up is used effectively as you have a pair of hands that have been made to look dead showing narrative and a key theme. it also makes them as dark as the tree, which is silhouetted against the sky, which could connote a link between death and that tree. This emphasises how dark the hands colour is and could connote the darkness surrounding death within the narrative. ![]() The daylight in the scene creates dark shadows on the hands and silhouettes the tree in the background. Lighting is used effectively to create shadows and silhouettes. The use of Mise-en-scene is effective through the use of lighting, make-up, and setting in this shot. I think they used the zooming out long shot in order to surprise the audience with the dead hands, which could connote to the narrative or be linked to the tree in the background. The first shot is at first an extreme long shot that zooms out even further becoming a close-up shot of two dead hands held together, which then come apart to reveal the stark white typography.
