2. Mise-en-scene
• Props- trophy, string, blanket, radio, TV
• Actors- Matthew Broderick as Ferris Bueller
• Location- Ferris’s bedroom
• Costume- pajamas and a dressing gown
• Makeup- little or none, natural-looking
• Expression- Shocked when he says “They bought
it!”, most of the time he is relaxed and happy. He is used
to doing this. Deadpan at the ‘lick your palms’ joke.
• Lighting- cracked through the curtain, when he opens the
curtains, the room lights up. Also, full shots of the sky.
• SFX- none
3. Editing- Cuts
From the bed to MTV- colour contrast
MTV to Medium Close-Up
When he says ‘…a day like this’, it cuts to 3 shot
of the summer sky.
4. Camera Angles
• Wide shot- sky and Ferris in bed
• Close-ups and Medium close-ups on Ferris
• Low angle shot (at the beginning, before he
says “They bought it!”
5. Sound
• The music that plays in the background is non-
diegetic, as Ferris can’t hear it himself. Ferris
can hear his television playing MTV in the
background. He also plays around with his
illness soundboard, which he can hear.
