Battle Royale
Mise-en-scene
BATTLE ROYALE
Battle royale
takes place in an alternate timeline from ours, and japan is known as a police state ; the republic of
Greater asia.
From time to time, fifty randomly selected classes of secondary school students
are forced to take arms against one another until only one student in each
class remains. The program was created, supposedly, as a form of military
research, though the outcome of each battle is publicized on local television.
A character discovers that the program is not an experiment at all, but a means
of terrorizing the population. In theory, after seeing such atrocities, the
people will become paranoid and divided, preventing an organized rebellion. I
will be doing the first scene in which a winner is brought out.
The
first thing the viewers see is a helicopter hovering from above ,and notice the
branches and grey skies above, the
helicopter immediately a viewer will see that seems to be set on an abandoned
island , and that something bad has happened , as grey gives off a smothering
effect. After this you see reporters and camera men moving through the scenery
,they are wearing bright coloured blazers and blouses, and some are carrying
camera’s , notepads this
also says that whatever happens is big and of great importance to the public.
You then see military men rush to stop them. This shows that they are to stop
them from coming near something , for their own safety. This also shows
whatever was happening was controlled by the authorities , After this you see a military edition jeep
emerging from a compound in the deserted island. A group of men are on top of
the vehicle and in the middle is a girl sitting in the middle , this also shows
that the girl deeply dangerous and the military are trying to keep her away
from the reporters.
This image shows the girl covered in blood in a school uniform holding blood soaked doll, in the army edition jeep surrounded by all these militant men. This shows that the is girl is obviously at the centre of all the attention and her smile and blood is deeply worrying . she begins to laugh and the creen starts flashing white and back to the image of this laughing girl , I think it means that she was involved in a sinister plot , This first scene only gives you a small idea about whats exactly happening on this island.
