Psychiatric Ward

In our opening sequence, there will be a short scene of the character in a psychiatric ward. We researched different thrillers to get ideas of the mise-en-scene, setting and the camera shots.



This is a clip from Final Destination 2. We have chosen to put this up because in this particular sequence, there is an encounter in a psychiatric ward. In our opening sequence, there will be a scene in a psychiatric ward. Therefore, we researched different thrillers where they have used a psychiatric ward and we focused mainly on the mise-en-scene and different camera shots.



This is a crabshot from the sequence, the mise-en-scene is really effective because of the lighting and it has a unique setting as it shows a lot of trees, fog and is almost is an unknown place. This creates a miserable sense of feeling because the lighting is quite dark and gloomy. You can tell that it is a psychiatric ward or hospital as the people who are doctors are wearing only white.
