I decided to comment on the mise-en-scene of the 2008 movie, "Mamma Mia!" I made this decision because this is one of my favorite movies and I think the setting, lighting, costumes, and staging are quite remarkable. For those unfamiliar, Mamma Mia takes place in the Greek Islands and features Donna Sheridan (Meryl Streep) who is preparing for her daughter's wedding. Her daughter Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), secretly invited three men from her mother's past in the hope of one of them being her real father. Mamma Mia is a jukebox movie-musical that is based on the songs of the Swedish pop band ABBA. The movie opens in the dark of night on the island, and pictures Sophie mailing letters to her potential fathers. Deep Space is used in this opening scene. This opening sequence has the song “I Have a Dream” playing under it, and contains a variety of wide, low, follow, and cameo shots. Sophie is looking from the letters to the open ocean. Deep Space is used in this frame ...
In the film, "Agent Carter," the shot opens up with a flashback scene, including Captain America (Chris Evans) and Peggy (Hayley Atwell). The scene shows Captain America going into action while saying the final words to Peggy. This is done through the use of close-up and choker shots, which help show the intensity and emotion of the scene. Additionally, there is dim lighting which makes the scene feel more sorrowful.

The scene itself does not include much dialogue between the two and lets the performance make its impact. In the final moments of this scene, the instrumental music increases as it shows Captain America focusing on a picture of Peggy whilst he sacrifices himself in battle. The next scene opens with the words "One Year Later" titled across the shot. This allows the audience to understa...
Movie Opener Final Cut After reviewing some comments made by my classmates, I edited my film opening. I re-shot some clips of individuals putting on masks and asked the actors to look more serious because I did receive a comment saying that the emotion of the shots in the first draft fit the tone. I think these ones look nicer and have the emotion that matches the film opening's overall tone, which is pretty somber and reflective. Additionally, some mentioned that I take a look at the audio. I re-did the audio to make sure that the backing music sounded good at all times and the voices of the actors counting down from 10 were loud enough to hear. I am thankful for those comments and think that they helped me improve the quality of my film opening.
