Reflection on mise-en-scene etc.

Mise-en-scene	-       For setting, an actual house was used for scenes to make it more realistic. -       All scenes were shot in the same setting for continuality. -       Flashback scenes were black and white to make it more clear and easy for the audience to differentiate the flashbacks and normal scenes.
Cinematography	-       In one of the shots in the scene when Nate falls to his death, the camera movement is very blurry and as if the being rolled around, to create a shot made in Nate’s perspective when rolling down the hill. -       In the same scene, there is a shot where the camera is at a low angle to Blaire, to make her look more powerful. -       Several over-the-shoulder shots were used to make the audience feel as if they were actually in the situation.
Editing	-       Certain transitions were used repetitively for the scenes from where Blaire has flashbacks and then back to the real world. -       Shots from different angles were used in scenes so that it wasn’t too boring and continuous.
Sound	-       There is not too much dialogue in some of the flashback scenes, to show that Blaire has trouble remembering. -       Splashing sounds were kept in Nate’s death scene to make it clearer to the audience that Nate fell in the water. -       Dialogue was mostly used in the scenes to show progress in the storyline.
