Another major area of planning this week has been mise-en-scène, specifically how costume, set design, props, and lighting will visually communicate the tone of the film. Since the concept revolves around my character who feels bored and disconnected from her routine, I plan to use more muted or neutral colors in their clothing and surroundings. This could subtly reflect her emotional state without directly stating it. The setting will be a typical school environment, but arranged in a way that feels repetitive or slightly dull to emphasize the routine aspect of their life. It will focus on greys and beiges to show monotony. However in dreams and alternate Jane sequences would feature pastel, dreamy colors.
Props and lighting will also play an important role in showing the difference between reality and imagination. Everyday objects like notebooks, headphones, or a phone could become symbols of distraction or escape. Lighting would shift slightly during daydream sequences, becoming softer or brighter to separate those moments from normal scenes. By carefully planning these visual elements, I can create contrast and mood without needing complicated effects, which is especially important given the limited time and resources of the project.
