In class we watched the opening scene to an episode of the tv drama 'The chase'. We analysed it using mise-en-scene, looking at CLAMPS, which stands for Costume, Lighting, Actors, Movement, Props and Setting.
Costume
The first character that came on was dressed very formally but, in very dark colours, to represent her mood, and she was wearing sunglasses to try to hide her emotions.
Most of the people at the church were wearing formal clothes to set the scene of the wedding and make it realistic and the vicar was wearing the tradtional vicar robe.
Lighting
In the vet surgery, it was very bright i think this was because it made it realistic so they could see wen opperatng, and also it set happy mood.
In the church the lighting was very natural, which made the church fell more traditional, instead of very fake and dramatic, which wouldn't suit a church or wedding.
Actors
Most of the actors were female, with very few male characters. I'm not sure hy is was done, but there was a clear difference in numbers.
Movement
The pregnant lady moved very fast, this showed that she was in a rush and feeling very anxious.
The old vet man, moved quite slowly, i think tey did ths to emphasis that he was distracted.
Props
The first character came on drove a convertable car, this showed that she was quite well of and had a bit of money.
