Mise en Scene

Book of Eli
Props:
Gun–he's prepared to defend the ownership of the book. He will kill for it.
Book- positioned away from the threat.
Sink – grubby, indicating an uncomfortable place/cell. Could indicate lack of use due to water unavailable.
Costume: Hers designed to look attractive to seduce Eli, hair’s brushed, childish? etc. He is clean, has practical clothing.
  Lighting: He is in the light connoting good, whereas she is in the dark connoting danger and bad intentions. This creates contrast and shows the perception of these two characters from the audiences perspective may differ from reality.
Facial Expressions: She is apprehensive and scared of Eli. Eli looks focused and ready to kill.


Props: Gas lamp as they don’t have electricity.
Old movie poster – Emphasises the apocalypse is in the future.
Food -  Canned food suggesting lack of resources, given Eli is a guest.
Costume: (see above)
Body Language: positioned towards each other suggesting intimacy and comfortableness.









 28 Days Later




Lighting: Dark connoting danger or lack of hope for the characters.
Clothing: Dark, dirty clothing and both wear hats. They are more comfortable hiding in the shadows as if they dont they may be killed.


The Road
Props: Can – Precious, item of significance, shows fathers love for his son as he's passing it to him. 
Clothing: Layers of dirty clothing show the harsh climate. Baggy suggesting they stole them/ they didn’t have a choice, needing them, to survive.
Facial expressions: loving father and a confused son. Son probably hasn’t seen a can of coke for a while.
Lighting: Dull, grey. Suggests the world is dying and their life is bleak.


I am Legend


Props: gun - only for hunting use, casually wields it as hes not expecting any human danger.
Dog - Loyal to the man, the only source of friendship so they cling to each other.
Background - Abandoned cars and overgrown streets emphisises the lack of human activity. The fact hes walking in the middle of the street suggests confidence

(I don't know what happened to this)
