Mise en Scene

Mise en Scene


Analysing the Dark Knight Interigation scene.

Costume
Both the charecters costumes in this scene represent that charecters very well. The joker is wearing his scruffy purple suit showing the he is abit edgey about everything and you never know what he is going to do because he is on the edge all the time.

Lighting
At the start of the scene everything is in darkness and all you can see is the Jokers face. When the Batman enters the room the lights turn on and its is very moody light. This again shows that not everything is alright and everything seems to be a lighten on edge and the lighting presents it very well.
Actors
The two actors used in this scene plays the parts very well. The Joker play his part extremely well by fighting in a very wierd way when he is fighting batman. Having bad posture and also talking and pulling wierd facial expressions. Batman on the other hand stands tall over everyone and shows that he is in charge in the situation. He fights in a very good way and controls the Joker like a child which is wierd because the Joker doesnt ever react in the way you think he will. Having said this the Joker is played in such a way you never know how he is going to react.
Make up
The main make up in this scene would be the Jokers. In this scene his make up looks to be done badly and has looked like it has ran down his face a few times. As the fight scene progresses the make up gets worse and worse. This is a good use of make up because it makes the scene seem more legit and makes it feel like it means alot more than it does. The reason for this is that the make up says alot about the Jokers whole charecter and how he is alway on edge and the make up just sums everything up.
Props
The main prop in the scene is the table and the chairs the Joker and Batman are sitting down. This plays a big part in the scene because it is used alot in the fight for the Batman to gain power over the Joker. When the Batman comes in he wedges a chair against the door so no one can get in. This shows the authority Batman has in this scene.
Settings
The small room this is set in is a good choice for the scene. The reason for this is that there are two massive charecter in one room and you just know that something is about to happen. You get this feeling all the way through the scene that something is on edge until the fight. When the fight happens the room gets this sudden largest. This is down to the way the film is shot.
