These individuals create the landscapes and backboards for us‚ the ultimate image also known as the mise-en-scene. My favorite film of all time is Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump will go down in history as one of the greatest films ever made. This film was nominated for thirteen Academy Awards‚ and took home six of them. This is in part because of the phenomenal

In this essay I am going to write about the film “Attack The Block” and look at how mise en scene is used to establish the film’s themes. In the opening scene when Sam was on her own walking down the dark streets of London the music was quite eerie‚ this gives the audience a sense of suspense as to “what’s going to happen next?” Then as the music continues to play in the background there are lots of children running with fireworks in their hands‚ however‚ it is dark so we can’t see their faces‚

This movie is not about the answers to the problems of the society. It is just about the questions and unknowns. It is just an interesting journey in the modern society that could make people
