Choose an image from a movie or TV program from the
lists below. Using this image, analyse/discuss the mise en scene and camera
techniques on display, and what this image tells us about character and story.
Stark, in this image is clad in his own design experimental
“iron man” suit, created by the expensive materials of Stark Industries. This
piece of costuming represents Stark’s affluence, genius and ingenuity within
the film. Stark’s richness and brilliance in engineering is reinforced by the
various props placed within the scene. The props include his four high
performance sports cars and the tables overflowing with new age technologies created
by himself. The positioning of props creates a comparison between Stark’s
playboy image with his luxury cars on screen left and his serious engineering
life on screen right with the tools and materials.
The extreme wide shot allows for most of the garage
to be shown creating the enormity of the scene and re-emphasising Stark’s
wealth. This shot also portrays Stark as small and insignificant which is
metaphoric of the situation he has found himself in within the overarching
storyline. Although Stark is centred within the shot he blends in with his
surroundings, giving the sense that he and technology are a singular being,
which consequently is the idea for the iron man suit. The darker tones and low
key lighting are used to give a mysterious effect which underpins the idea of
him hiding the “iron man” project from everyone.
