Mise-En-Scene

Downtown Abby

When I was thinking about tv shows or movies that had vivid attributes. Downtown Abby has notable characteristics that help establish class and the time. I attempted to take note of the majority of the mise-en-scene components inside the concentrate. Downtown Abby being a historical drama has many Mise-en-scene and while watching it you can pick up many aspects like a costume, setting, staging, and acting.

The first and potentially most recognizable impacts that help set up the class and the time in which the show is set is the outfits. The workers all either wear covers and hats with a dress or suit pants, a white shirt, and vest - they all wear a uniform. These brighter costumes worn by the main characters and the daughters show that they are higher up in the hierarchy. Additionally, the maids all wear dull or dim colors. While they are cooking enormous and flavorsome-looking dinners, they hirelings themselves are just eating porridge - it is possible that they don't have the opportunity to cook for themselves or they aren't permitted. It is characteristically the feast that a great many people would connect with hirelings. Out of sight we can hear and see chimes ringing, which would have been rung by the privileged, flagging the hirelings. There were numerous chimes ringing without a moment's delay, empowering us to see exactly how bustling the laborer's lives would be.

We can tell who the most elevated individual from the gathering is from the setting. Nearly all servants live and work in a separate area of the house away from the family. Although one character specifically is shown frequently around the family and their guests and it is visible that he knows and understands high society ques. This man has all the earmarks of being the oldest, so we could expect that he has been working for this family for quite a while. This might be the explanation he is very articulate - he is accustomed to being around the upper class. We can likewise tell that he has a more significant activity than the others as he wears a tie and chains on his vest, not at all like the other people who don't have this. The setting helps the viewers separate the servants that are more valuable and the newer ones. The ones allowed to serve the family in the dining hall or parlor have been with the family for a while or have a higher position. We can likewise tell that he has a more significant activity than the others as he wears a tie and chains on his vest, not at all like the other people who don't have this.

The majority of the mise-en-scene referenced demonstrates the workers to be the lower class regarding taking orders, despite everything they do they have a major role in the film and are a key component. This is depicted by the acting when one worker takes the paper from the paper kid and hollers at him for being late. This shows he obviously has the control over the kid to reprimand him for accomplishing something incorrectly, and that - as it were - the paper kid is utilized or requested around by hirelings. Along these lines, in spite of the fact that the laborers are a low class, they are not the most reduced in the social circle. The workers in the house are a lower class but overall society is higher than most common people. This is shown by the worker’s eloquent speech and overall knowledge of societal cues.

5 Master Edits with Sound

The types of sounds I used were Diegetic sound, Non-Diegetic sound, Synchronous Sound, and Film Music. The Film Music help set a mood for the video. The mood I wanted to give off was light-hearted and upbeat and the music helps reinforce that. The Non-Diegetic sound helped elevate the clips to get what was trying to be filmed across. The Diegetic sounds in the classroom help the viewers understand the contrast even though it is loud and busy in the classroom it is nothing compared to the volleyball game. The loud Non-Diegetic music over the volleyball game helped show the chaos it was without having the sound on so that was another part of the contrast I wanted to keep; one part with background noise the other complete music. Synchronous Sound is over my little sister jumping and the water bottle shaking because I wanted to give it a complete different feel then the video was going with and upbeat calm mood. This gives a sort of clanging the the ice in my water bottle with a sort of future vibe. It also is very energetic like my sister when she is jumping up, the music fits the energy she gives off. Leit motif was the most difficult clip to find because I wanted it symbolize what was going on in there head. Then I listened to a punk song and it was a head banging song and there heads pounding from all the school work. So that's how I bridged the sound and the film of leit motif. Over all, all the sounds help develop the video into a more wholesome video. It also helps give the video a fun and upbeat mood rather than a documentary and boring mood before there was sound.
