For my Mise en Scene I picked the movie The Other Boleyn Girl (2008). This picture is from the scene where Mary Boleyn (Scarlett Johansson) is preparing her sister Anne Boleyn (Natalie Portman) to meet the king for the first time.
Dominant: The dominant of this picture is the two sisters. They attract the eyes because of the light on their faces and both of their facial expressions, exspecially the character of Anne. She looks a bit nervous as she prepares for and awaits the kings' arrival.
Lighting Key: The lighting in this scene is natural. I say this because of the shadows behind the two characters, how the edges of the scene are darker, and the little bit of lighting that is on the characters faces.
Character Proxemics: The characters are very close to each other and are practically touching each other, with the way that Johansson is fixing Portman's necklace. This scenes' character proxemics is intimate.
Camera Proxemics: The camera is not extremely close to the characters. It seems to be showing the characters from the waist up; I would say that the camera proxemics is personal.
This frame illuminates the larger scene because it shows how close the sister were in the beginning of the movie. If you have not seen the movie, this scene shows you the personalities of the characters. Portman's face does not look relaxed, her face looks more angry and serious, while Johansson's face seems more relaxed and calm. Through out the movie Portman's character seems to be the wild sister, while Johansson's seems to be the innocent sister who is very reserved. Further into the movie the two sisters grow apart and Mary Boleyn is executed by the king.
