‘In the context of the film production process, it does not make sense to talk about the director as the films auteur’– discuss how valid this view is in relation to examples from Pride and The Hunger Games.

Post 30 - working from a script - 11 - making narnia

We are using the weather as a main component to create the feel of Narnia, In the original film throughout we can see the snow, in order to recreate the snowy feel rather than snowing throughout when the Pevensie's make it to the beavers house we can see them brushing off snow showing that it did snow, the audience then makes the assumption that it was snowing adding to the whole feel of Narnia as snow has connotations of utopian weather. We also are adding clips of snow at the end of the production adding to the whole feel or Narnia. As well as this in editing we are going to add fog effect to create a mysterious feel to the video.    The next component to create Narnia was the setting, Throughout we are setting the location in the wood, we wanted it to be in the wood to create a natural setting that isn't man made, this creates a woodland feel and transports the audience to another out of this world place which is not on earth all adding to the feel ...

Costume and Make up The first feature in which I notice ...

Mise-en-scene: Costume: In this scene from 'The 400 Blows,' Antoine Doinel is wearing a black coat, black trousers and a white shirt.  At the beginning of the scene, he is playing football at school, where all of the other boys are wearing a black coat, black trousers and a white shirt, showing how this may be their uniform when they are playing football.  By having all the characters in this scene wearing the same clothing it represents how Antoine belongs to something, yet as he is running away signifies how he wants to break away from it, perhaps as he wants to be his own person and break away from the connotations with being a young person as throughout the rest of the film he is labelled as a 'no good' boy who sets out to cause trouble.  Makeup: Neutral makeup is worn in this scene.  Props: In this scene, there are numerous road signs as Antoine is running away, perhaps being a representation of him getting further and further away....
