Costume:
The costume was a crucial aspect in portraying the characters of Hansel & Gretel so that our audience can clearly understand what is being shown. Therefore we incorporated features such as the braces and the hair accessories in order to make our characters look fairytale-like and much like the characters described in the fairytale.
Camera Angles:
Being that the costume helped establish the characters being portrayed, we focused on close-up shots to present Hansel & Gretel for our audience to understand. For example, close-up shots of their faces and close-up shots of what they are holding.
Mise en Scene:
A main part of the fairytale of Hansel & Gretel is the gingerbread house, however, we are unable to edit a life-size one in the shot, or make one. Therefore we made a standard sized one and added a twist to the story where the house is actually little. This fits in with the theme of the song where Hansel & Gretel are bigger than the house both literally and metaphorically. They are the 'Warriors' who are able to defeat this point in the fairytale thus linking to Goodwin's Theory of connecting the music and lyrics to the visuals.
Whilst filming, I have also been taking photos that can be potentially used for our print productions. The gingerbread is a good prop that creates the fairytale theme we are looking for therefore making it a good image to use.
An excellent record Chloe - great reflection on the water and splendid lighting and composition which injects your images with a dream like quality. . In your later post I like the impressive tilted close up of Danielle.
