Reaserch Mise En Scene: Setting & Iconography

Setting:
Setting is the place where the scene has been set in the film, what the setting can do to the audience is allow them to know where the scene has been set and also to know if the area is a bad place, like being in a isolated area which makes the setting of the scene even more scarier to the audience because they know that there might be something that would happen there since it is in a isolated area which makes the characters vulnerable.

Iconography:
what iconography is a subject/object that has some importance in a scene or film. Why iconography is important in a thriller film because the object can connote to the audience what the pbject might have done, to become important in the scene/film.

Conventional settings:

• Forest
• Deserted house
• Warehouse
• Basement
• Alleyway
• Place of work
• Street

Scene Analysis:
In the beginning of the scream scene the location of the scene has been set in a big house alone with a near field to it. The house could show to the audience how the female victim is weak and vulnerable as it has been set at night and she is alone at home preparing to watch a movie. This allows anything to happen to the female victim, because the audience can sense that there is something wrong going to happen because of where it has been set they start to feel tension and scared for the victim, and if anything happens as she is in an isolated area it would be easy to hide anything without being noticed.
