Alright, so as I am getting everything ready for this, I need to plan out different visual elements in my story. As I have been stating throughout my time planning out shots, the mise-en-scene for Mallory's (main character's) shots will be warm and childlike. Though that is a broad spectrum, is it not? So, what actually constitutes for warmth?
Warm colors like reds and oranges, even yellows and sometimes beiges and cream. Each of these may make an appearance during the opening introduction. Though, I plan to, during the first half when Mallory is still upbeat, use brighter colors like reds, yellows and oranges. Although, near the ending half, I plan on using more creamy colors that still constitute for warmth but saturated compared to the first half.
"But Duke, mise-en-scene is not all about colors!" Trust me, I understand, I just wish to show most of my film in all of it's oversaturated color glory. Mainly because that is how I see the world, cheesy? Yes, it is. I promise you, I get worse. Not the point, you want to see concepts of what Mallory will wear.
This is the dress she would be wearing, and I would like to add a shot with flowers and a little showcase of this dress. Do not mind the socks, as these are my only "fun party" type of socks that I think she would wear.
Now, I still need to either thrift or find a apron for her to wear. And either today or tomorrow I will be doing that as well as visualizing my set for upcoming filming (that I will hopefully be doing Monday, if things go to plan).
With a makeup pallet that consists of this:
Purples, pinks with reds. Though I plan to only use the matte pinks and reds, maybe I could sprinkle a bit of shine in there if my makeup skills turn out okay. A lovely combination that is supposed to show more of a childish side of Mallory. I even plan to use subtle makeup, a little bit of lip brightener and light pink eyeshadows that show subtly on my eyes like a touch up.
You may be questioning why Mallory is wearing a pretty dress when she is supposed to be setting up her own birthday party. It is mainly to show that despite her situation, she is setting up for herself and did not expect to be doing this to some degree. Hence the pretty dress while she is blowing up balloons and finishing up her cake. I like to use some form of juxtaposition throughout this opening introduction, is it obvious?
So, that is just about it this time around. I shall see you all tomorrow. Good day, good evening and goodnight!
