MISE-EN-SCENE
Setting We can tell my the setting straight way that its set somewhere sunny and its based around a wedding because the props they have in the scene of the first two minutes relate to a wedding, for example- flowers, wedding dress and a women having her hair done. Later on in the scene, we see another scene with four men stranded in what looks like a desert. We can tell straight away from the first two minutes that this film is based around the stag night and a wedding.
CharactersIn the first two minutes of the scene we only see two of the main characters who are in completely different settings and look like completely different characters as one is very serious and the other doesn't look to bothered. I think you can tell by the way the characters are acting that this is based around a comedy genre.

DIEGETIC SOUND •The voices of the characters • We hear the sound of a phone ringing • We also hear music fro a radio in the background
NON- DIEGETIC SOUNDThe only non-diegetic sound used in the first two minutes of the scene is the music played. The music played is very classical and instrumental. The music connotes that the film is based around the wedding.
SOUND AND MUSIC
FONT AND CREDITS The font at the start of the film is very classic which also represents the theme of the wedding. The colour is also white which is the main colour at the wedding, it also represents love and peace.
As soon as we find out that something bad happens the colours stays the same but the writing changes to a more bold writing which is all in capitals this shows that the films is going to be very dramatic
CAMERA ANGLES Establishment Shot – this shows us the setting and the scene and gives us an idea of the genre of the film. We can clearly see from the shot that the film is based around a wedding.
Close up – this shot connote that we can see the emotion and the feelings of a character. I think in this shot we can see that the genre of the film is comedy.
Mid shot – This shows us the relationships between certain characters.
MISE-EN-SCENE
Lighting – The lighting is natural and by this we can tell that the film is meant to be realistic and professional.
Props – The props we see in the first two minutes of the film, are flowers, wedding and bridesmaids dresses, a wedding setting, this connotes the setting and the film is based around a wedding. Costumes – The costumes are very formal in one scene in the film two minutes, where as the other half is very scruffy with cuts on their faces, this makes us this that they’ve been on there stag night.
Music- This is very classical which relates to the wedding until we find out that something gone wrong and the music changes in to a more rocky song which connote that we’re going to see what went wrong.
