Mise-en-scene



This scene is from the horror movie 'The Conjuring' and it looks as if it is set in a basement which is old and hasn't been used in a while, the character looks tensed and horrified by something that could be in front of her and her facial expressions show she is shocked by something and still in fear. Her position shows she is confused or it seems to her as if she is in a danger zone, the match in her hand shows she wants to see what's happening and surrounding her.
The match is the only light source which makes her the centre of attention in the scene, while the background is dark and mysterious.
The character is wearing a robe which could suggest its night as in a horror film this is the prime time for the main scenes to take place and something has happened as she is in the basement at this time. The scene could lead to an unexpected shock as the genre of this film is horror.
