Notes on short film- 'Tight Jeans'
Mise En Scene in the film:
Costume: the three actors are dressed comfortably, in a modern style, they are dressed basically, they are not particularly glamorous/ overdressed or over- styled- we can assume from their clothing/where the film is set that they come from working-class backgrounds
Hair: The actors' hairstyles are all modern and popular- they are neatly cut- the characters enjoy taking pride in their hair- the cuts themselves are basic and modern- one actor's hair is in braids- reflecting his culture/ heritage
Set: The entire film takes place in the courtyard/ parking area of a council estate- between large buildings full of flats- the three characters appear familiar with their surrounding- and so we can assume that they too live in the area or near it- they are waiting for a friend.
Colour: The three men are dressed in different colours which adds a sense of humour to the group- almost a comedy trio vibe- they are all wearing baggy, oversized clothing- such as hoodies and baggy jeans. One actor is wearing a black cap.
Lighting: The lighting in the film is entirely naturalistic- it adds a sense of realism/ verisimilitude to the entire film- the weather is relatively grey and so we can presume it is set in autumn or spring
