Our Mise-En-Scene choices

 Costumes 

Mother was wearing a coat with joggers and trainers giving off the 'every day look' as if she is a normal middle class woman subverting the steriotype from a typical criminal/murderer.

The investigator male was wearing a black pin stripe suit with a white shirt and hair tied up to give off a serious and professional look making him look like he is very serious about his job and is here to work. 

The police woman Was wearing a florecent yellow high vis jacket with a typical police hat. We didn't worry about the bottom half as this part of her was not in any of the shots. The costume is what a police man in the uk would sterio-typically wear on the job of a crime scene. 

The Forensic wore an all white suit, blue gloves and foot covers with a face mask as this is what they would wear at a crime scene when collecting evidence and taking notes of the scene. 

The lighting was natural light and luckily it was not the best weather which helped to add the the mysterious and tragity of the event which just happened. We also used blue flashing lights reflected onto the car to imitate a police car and make it look more realistic as if we did have. police car. 

Props

The props we used included: police tape, car, bike, helmet, blood, evidence bag, number plates and gloves as these are all things we needed to add to the overall set of the sequence and help to tell the story of what has happened and how it happened. Also to help attract the target audience of people who are attracted to drama thriller type films, telling them what type of film it will be which is all straight away shown by the props and costumes drawing them in straight away.

Set/set design 

Our location was percived to be a grand middle class house owned by the woman adding to the subversion of the sterio-type of a rich woman commiting such a crime. The set design of the crime scene was one of the key parts to our sequence as it is what the whole thing is based around. We used a small car which was the car the woman was driving and crashed the child into. The bike of the child which is only revealed later on that it is a child's adding to a shock at the end, it also added a slight element of tragety as its a child but also makes the audience question weather its her child or not. We also put up police tape whilst filming certain shots making it obvious it is a crime scene. 

Performance and direction of actors

For our actor Susie we told her the story line of our sequence and the part she has to play. Her main and key shot was when she was freaking out in the car just after she just hit the child. We instructed her to hyperventilate and be really stressed in the car as if she is thinking irrationally and mind is going at a million miles an hour.

For mike who played the detective part of the police force we told him to be very serious and firm as the death of a child is very serious and distressing but also the murderer suspected to be the woman is his responisbility so has to be very professional.

For the extras of the police woman and firensic we told them to do things that they would naturally do on a crime scene like collecting evidence and talking to the detective about whats happend and how they are going to deal with it.
