Weather and Setting

For this task the conditions outside are very important.
As our character played by Jack is on his way to his first interview into the so called boring Office world. So the weather can be used to  display the characters emotions as a Semiotic or a sign. For example if it were raining then Jack would have to look sad as rain can symbolise tears as if the entire world around him is making him sad. If it were sunny however then Jack would be happy and lets face it probably dancing everywhere he goes. As the sun is very bright it represents a bright future and a happy day to the audience. So as our character will be very nervous and probably in a rush we will preferably need it to be overcast to show that the character is trapped or under pressure as the clouds could represent a natural roof over his head as if to force him down not able to climb in confidence.

 

For our actual setting we will start from inside Jacks Bedroom-around his house-down his driveway-along the road-and stops at the bus stop where the title of the film is displayed and the opening of the film ends. We will need to make sure that when we are inside that we get more close up images on jack and the objects around him that we will use to display the titles similar to the title sequences of Fresh Meat. Where as soon as we step outside we include Long shots and Extreme long shots to show where Jack is and where he is going. We will need to be careful that when we are fling for the opposite side of the road that not many cars come past in one shot or else we will not be able to see Jack for long and the image will become cluttered, confusing and will ruin the Mise En scene.
