For my post I wanted to talk about the importance of the mise en scene for In Th Fade. When we saw Nuri and Katja together at the beginning it was like a home made film. It was bright and even though we saw them get married in a prison, it was still set in a very happy tone. The walls were bright, it wasn’t gloomy and the music help set this happily ever after of a family they created after their dark past. But when her husband and son die from the bomb, the colors scheme changes instantly. It’s almost constantly raining, her appearance becomes very lethargic looking and we see how emotionally drained and vulnerable she becomes from everyone telling her what everyone thought her husband still was. The mise en scene is very important with help setting the tone of the environment and characters and letting us know when something is important. This film did a great job transitioning and meshing together that emotion and environment to the characters.
