Cole- Pan's Labyrinth Mise en Scene

In Pan's Labyrinth, the main character, Ofelia, is set on a series of tasks from a mystical faun to recover her royal status in an alternate world, or so the faun tells her. In this scene, she has created a door with chalk, leading underground to an ancient cave or palace of sorts. She is supposed to stray from everything except a door, which holds a key. Here, the dominant is the creature, as of now sitting in a frozen state. The lighting of the scene helps to highlight the dominant, as the light is reflecting off of the creature's pale body. It also probably helps that it is a weird looking creature. The lighting is low key in this scene to convey the fact that Ofelia is underground and in unfamiliar surroundings. The low lighting also creates an uneasy idea that something is going to happen. The character proxemics of this frame display that Ofelia is unaware of the possible danger that awaits her. She is standing in fairly personal proxemics to the creature, showing us her curious nature. I think that these aspects of mise en scene all work together to foreshadow an unfavorable happening for the naïve Ofelia. I already know that something does indeed happen, but looking back on the film after having learned about mise en scene illuminates the notion that something is not right in this scene of the film. Also, in my personal opinion, lighting, character proxemics, and the dominant are some of the most important aspects in interpreting mise en scene.
