The document summarizes how two groups, the older generation and secret agents, are represented in a film through mise en scene and other cinematic techniques. For the older generation, appearance like grey hair and glasses show dependence on others. Dialogue with a posh accent shows being old-fashioned. Secret agents are represented through costumes like suits that show high status and authority. Camera angles from below also give the impression of power and ability to overpower others.

2.  A group that is represented in the
opening of my film are the older
generation. This is done by using
mise en scene. This example uses
appearance. The old secret agent in
our film has grey hair and wears
glasses. This shows that older people
are not as energetic and they have to
rely on others for things such as
reading small print on a piece of
paper. This means that they are very
dependant on others. Another CESM
technique that we use is dialogue (a
sound technique). We did this by
giving Will’s character a very
posh/upper class accent. This
represents that he is fairly old
fashioned and he takes the
image/sound he gives to others very
seriously. It also shows that he has
power and authority over anyone
else who is speaking to him.

3. Another group which is represented in our film
are secret agents. This is done using Mise
en scene. Costume shows that the agent
has high status because he is wearing a
suit. This shows he has authority and is in
charge of others. A film that inspired the
creation of this character was Skyfall.
Bond is always wearing suits throughout
the film and he has a very high status and
he can control others. We used this
example because it would make the
audience see the agent in our film as a very
important and vital to our film and without
him the story line would not work. Another
CESM technique that we use is camera
angles. We use low angle shots on our
secret agent to give the impression to the
audience member that they have a high
status and they can over power anyone.
