mise en scene picture

This picture is taken form the film mr. and mrs. smith starring angelina jolie and brad pitt. i chose this picture because it shows good use of mise en scene. One of the main props used in this image is rubble, the use of this prop signifies to the audience that there has been an explosion. Fire is still burning showing us that the explosion was recent. The costumes of the characters are casual, their in white to make them stand out and show audience that they are the protagonists and still dominant. they look as if they where in the middle of getting ready or changing their clothes also indicating to us that this could have been their house and that they must have been inside it when this esplosion occured. Both of their facial expressions show us they are in shock and disbelief. The space within this scene is quite open but at the same time the characters are very close together suggesting that they are surrounded by destruction and chaos. the lighting in this scene is bright and misty from the smoke from the flames.
