Mise en scene (The grandmother)

Dark plain

- Pale faces
Black and white
- Suit


- plain bed
- plain white draws
- use of a little red
- dress
-t-shirt and trousers
- dull use of green and brown

no background
shallow depth of field
washing
lamp
table
china
bag of seeds

location

House
Bedroom
Living room
Outside

Lighting

only front facing light no others

you can't see anything other than the characters with the harsh light showing that there is no past or present and the spectre is meant to be entirely on the present

red bucket is the only thing of colour n the shot



trees
soil
seed
water bucket
tree

flowers to show the love and life
- striped pyjamas to show he was in prison

the messy hair and bottles show alcoholism

Scene out in a field
its quite and lonely
