The Descent Mise-en-scene and lighting.

By Chloe Potter

Lighting

In this shot you can see a cake that says “Happy birthday Jessica”. The way the background in black and the candles are lit makes it feel more warm and happy.

In this shot you can see Sarah in the hospital hallway but it has a weird look to it. It has a greenish look when a normal hospital would be white.

You can see in this shot that the background is going black as if something was chasing her.

You can see in this shot that the hospital is back to normal now and it is no longer scary.

Costumes You can tell that the person in this scene is a child because of her clothes, they look child-like. Also the cake has 5 candles on it.

The character Sarah doesn’t change in this scene. You can tell she is a patient because she has a hospital night gown on.

You can see that Beth and Juno has their normal clothes on.

Locations You can’t really see where this is meant to be because it is a black background.

This shot is based at a hospital. You can tell because the character is wearing the hospital gown.

This shot is based in a hospital room. You can tell because of the bed and how she is in the hospital gown.

Props

The cake is a prop because Jessica uses it to blow out the candles.

The Heart monitor is a prop that they use to make the audience question if she is dead or not.
