"Mise en scène"
Contrast:
Still image from Poor Things (2023)
Example of size, use a simple background and two figures of different sizes next to each other to create contrast.
Creating these photographs made me realize how difficult it
can be to balance many elements from mise en scène in a single frame. Composing
and balancing these elements intentionally is not easy at all, for example, one
of the most difficult challenges I faced was identifying the difference between
color and contrast -and I still don't fully understand it- when I was taking
the pictures for color and contrast I din't really know what to do at
first, the conceps were a quite
difficult for me to understand. I was thinking that for contrast it was a good
idea to have an object of a bright color with a simple background but I thought
that would fall into the color category so I opted to do the contrast I already
knew, lights and shadows. The original idea I had for contrast I implemented
for color, but I had a problem with the configuration of the phone that made
the photos very bright and I got the impression that the background (with a
circle of light) attracted more attention than the object, so I chose to create
a set with not very flashy colors -yellow and blue- and include a more striking
colored object -a red rose-, In this way
the object stood out more and the image stood out for its colors. Another
challenge was in Size because all the large objects I had were out of the frame
and were very similar in size to my small objects, as I was attempting to create a
contrast between both objects I looked for a medium size and a very small one
and I got closer to both objects (cinematography) to give the impression of a
more noticeable difference in size. Last but not least, Front. For this one I
used a stuffed animal as a subject in the hot spot, ignoring the rule of thirds
and putting it in a position facing directly towards the camera. and breaking the fourth wall.
