In this post I will talk about the mise-en-scene of our film opening and how costume, setting, and props help in showing meaning in the film. The overall feel of the show should show street racing culture and the comedy aspect of the film.
For Paulie's costume, confidence and simplicity will show his character best. Nothing too over the top, he needs to show an image that demonstrates that he really belongs to this automotive culture. He does not need try to be stylish, but he does need to look experienced. As for Jay, he should wear something more flashy than Paulie, so that it will help to reinforce his confidence.
Something that is very important is to get the right place to film. For the back alley, it should be create an underground feeling, since it's an uncommon place to do the exchange with Mr. Clutch. For Paulie's driveway scene, the environment should give a personal feel, he is working on his own car, so it will show that he knows what he's doing. The car meet location should also have an underground feeling to it, as cars should be parked by the background to make it appear more credible.
Props are crucial to this project and the rare performance part needs to appear valuable to the audience. The cars are the most important props because they represent both the identity and status for the characters. Also, smaller items like the case Mr. Clutch has or the tools from the driveway scene will help add some realism.
The mise-en-scene will establish the movie’s Genre, Character traits, and create an atmosphere for the movie through costume, prop, and set design, the movie needs to create a realistic world.
