Mise-en-Scene

-
Hi guys! I am back again providing you all with updates on my project. In this blog post, I will go over the mile-en-scene of my project. As you all know, my genre is a teen comedy film, therefore, I will be having bright and natural lighting, as well as modern clothing. There will be fashion trends that are currently being worn this year such as ripped denim, denim skirts, cropped tops, jean jackets, up cycled denim, and other fashion statements from the 80s and 90s combined into one. The hair will be styled in a ponytail, or laying down, but since I may have African American people in my film, you guys may see some Afro inspired hair trends such as box braids, and twists.

Some props that I will use are a cell phone, laptop, and a handbag. The setting in the bedroom and school will add character to the film and make it more realistic. The miseducating-en-scene in the film, Booksmart, that was released in 2019 has inspired me for my film. The dressing is very modern, and the hair and makeup is subtle, giving it the natural, everyday feel that I am going for.

I'm pretty popular at school, and the captain of the basketball team. Everyone seems to love me and think my life is perfect, but little do they know, I'm still figuring it out.

Representation Within Genre

-
In the past, most coming-of0age films did not have a fair amount of representation for minority groups. Most of the characters were always portrayed as and played by white heterosexual male teens, who were typically in the middle class. This stereotypical portrayal is unfair because that is not the norm and it also makes people.  In the recent years, many filmmakers have been making an effort to casts more diverse casts, such as having more female leads, characters who are apart of the LGBTQ community, and members of black, white, asian and other minority communities. The teen comedy, coming of age genre has shown to come a long way with the recent release of the movie, "Booksmart", in 2019. This movie features two female protagonists who were the academic overachievers all throughout high school, but on their graduation night, they looked for scandalous activities and parties to partake in after realizing that they missed a lot of special moments in their adolescent years.

Target Audience

-
Many people have been asking me, "What is the point of your film? Who is your target audience?". My film is specifically targeted towards people in the same age group as me, teens and young adults. However, people of any age group can view it as well. Although this film is being made for the enjoyment of anyone who watches, I believe that people that are between the ages of 12-20 years of age, will relate with it better, which means that it will be more appealing to them.
