Deconstruction of Mise-en-scene- Charlotte Wilson

Deconstruction of Mise-en-scene 

I looked at the miss-en-scene from the film Annabelle.

In this first image we see the dolls lined up and Annabelle being placed, the woman is saying 'she fits right in'. We can see that they are all wearing similar dresses but Annabelle stands out from the rest as she is larger and the camera is focused more of her and the lighting being brighter. The doll is used throughout the film a common representation usually within supernatural horrors. 

The long shot shows us a women holding a doll, we assume its Annabelle. The lighting has gone very dark telling us how the mood of the scene has changed and something bad is happening. 

We can see in this long shot the woman holding the doll up higher them her telling us she may be quite vulnerable and that the doll is powerful. The dress which the doll is dressed in is quite old fashioned telling us how the doll has been around a long time. We can see the dolls in the back ground and colour of the room being pink that this is a little girls room. 

This shot is cut from the long shot of the women holding the doll to an over the shoulder shot is used here, we are able to see the dolls face clearly. The doll looks quite realistic in comparison to the others, her stroking the hair shows us her connection with the doll.

A long shot is used i this image where we see a cabinet of dolls and in the middle the main one Annabelle. The use of the dolls being used is also s common representation in super natural horrors for a Demond or spirit to be in the object or toy. We can clearly see from this there is something different with the main doll in the middle, the lighting is also very doll, the camera focus' on her. 

In this image we see the doll which has been used throughout it, however though in this picture the dolls in the back ground are all pushed over, showing us something bad has happened. We also see in this the writing all over the sealing and images drawn i found this very effective. The word 'her soul' conforms to the representation of supernatural horrors including religion. As there is a crib and the mobile above it showing us clearly its a child's room.
