Mise-en-sceneThere are many aspects to cover in terms of mise-en-scene. For example, the lighting applied throughout the trailer is kept light and cheerful, even in the battle scene, this is possibly to reflect the bright nature of a typical fantasy fairy land, but also because it is primarily a children’s film and so cannot seem too intimidating. Even in the most depressing scene of the death of one of the main characters the shot is kept light through the use of lit torches and candles, however although it is light, this also creates a rather foreboding and eerie feel. The costumes which are used are clearly intricately designed and are in keeping with the time period in which the film is set. They are simple but effective, showing the plain style which was in fashion during the war, but also making each outfit individual to the child to reflect their personality. The setting is cleverly constructed, and is very realistic, particularly the landscapes covered in snow. The old house from which they have ventured is in great contrast with the world in which they find themselves, and this change could mirror the difference between their old and boring lives in comparison with the new and exiting one which they have discovered.
