Flightplan: Mise-En-Scene

First of all ZOMG!! This film was proper good!!!! I saw it a while ago but only like the middle part, but I thought this film was SUPER good!!! I really enjoyed the story line and loved the twist, and also the whole thought of a child going missing on a plane is something you don't really think about because it just doesn't happen and no one can really go missing on an aeroplane because it's such an enclosed space and so adds a bigger sense of danger.

Okay, now to the real work. Mise-en-scene was the main aspect of how we saw the main character. I noticed that most of the time when she was running up and down the plane the director used a tracking shot on the other side of the plan. I really liked this idea for you really got a sense of running on the plane with her and trying to find the child. Also it showed how fast she was running and how desperate she was. I think most of the camera angles showed the stress she was in and how she was going into having a breakdown when trying to find her daughter.

Another mise-en-scene used to help portray the main character is the lighting. In the film not many bright lights are used, for it is in a storm there should not be the sun out and happy, as well most of the film is set around night time so all the lighting is very dim. I think this adds real affect to how worried she is for her daughter. If she can't find her and a night it makes it 100% worse for anything could happen to a child at night and even though it is on a areoplane and there is not much of a chance for someone to take her it's still pretty scary on what time of day it is.

The decor in the film in the main aspect that makes it more exciting. It looks like a regular plane and this adds to the drama that is might actually happen in real life. Even though the aeroplane company may not really exists but the reality of a real life aeroplane and a real life situation adds to the affect more. Also in this film I think parents can relate to the mum as if they had a missing child they would feel the same way.

Overall, I thought this film was really good and better than I though it was going to be. I really liked the whole idea of the story line and the film was really well made.
