👁MISC EN SCENE👁

 

Hey Bloggers,

    Misc en Scene is a part of film-making that truly determines whether a movie does well at the box office. It is the base of all movie production and requires intense, intricate thinking to make sure everything in a scene stays cohesive and in relation to what is going on in the movie/show. To put in simple terms, Misc En Scene is everything you see on screen.

    My ABSOLUTE all time favorite show will always be Breaking Bad, so that's what I chose to do for this blog! The suspense, tension, and plot all make you wanting more! The film production is second to none as every scene is thought out to perfection, which makes the watch ever so much enjoyable. Everything ties together and you really get the gist of what the director is envisioning.

One of the most iconic clips in Breaking Bad is Walters cancer diagnosis. This is basically the root of all Walters problems as he tries to ensure his families future financial security by entering the drug business. As you can see in this scene, the colors appear to be very dark and dreary, reflecting the circumstances of this scenario, as getting diagnosed with cancer is one of the most demoralizing things that can happen to someone. Walters clothes and facial expressions also can be seen. His clothes, brown and this sort of dark green color, which matches the overall dull color of this scene. His facial expression, lifeless, sort of showing the scale of this situation. The lack of lighting makes this shot even more depressing.

Here in this shot, you can see the kitchen that is shown an abundant of times throughout the show and it is in Walters house. This house resembles that of a middle class one as you have a gas stove with wooden cabinets. None of the appliances seem to be outdated as if seems like your standard 2000's kitchen. The fridge has those magnets that kids usually put on them, which shows that he has a family.

As Walter's drug business continues to climb too enormous heights, you see the stress take a toll on him ,which can be clearly seen in this shot as he has his head laying in one of his hands. Throughout the show, the director opts to use more brownish, maroon furniture. As you can see, his wife, Skylar, is pregnant at that time, which may be contributing to his tensity. Skylar possesses this nonchalant facial expression as she has yet to find out about Walters secret endeavors. The lighting seems to be centered on the couch, which shows that both of these characters were the centerpiece to this scene.

Walter's obsession with maintaining his pride ultimately ends up killing Mike, as here in this shot you can see him with Mike in his last moments. Mikes black shirt feels like an indication of his inevitable death. The color scheme mostly consists of green and brown, showing the gloomy magnitude of the situation, which is one of the main characters dying to greed. It seems to be late in the afternoon as the sun does not appear to be shining. The peaceful scenery of the situation is the perfect scenario for how Mike wanted to die, as he tells Walter to shut up and "let me die in peace."
