4. Mise-en-scene recreation
Costumes
The first character who hands over the paper is wearing a suit so I had one of my actors in a suit.
Lighting
The clip has high key natural light so I filmed the scene outside to recreate this.
Actors expressions
Throughout the scene the characters display feelings of confusion, excitement and shock. I believe my actors were able to accurately display these feelings through the use of facial expressions and tones.
Makeup
The characters had blood on their face and to recreate this I used fake blood which created a similar look to the characters in the movie
Props
In the movie the main prop is the document which is handed to the characters for which I used a sheet of paper and a pen.
The script:
Man in suit
Sign here.
Hands over paper.
Michael
Wait...Hold on a second. You guys got my license back?
Sonia
You just signed the adoption papers.
Darius
The what?
Michael
The adoption papers?
Sonia
You are now our son.
Both stand.
Darius + Michael
Wait what the fuck!?
The shot list:
- Over the shoulder shot of character handing over documents
- Close up of character speaking
- Camera returns to over shoulder shot
- Zoomed in on character in centre
- Zoomed in on confused character
- Character centre
- character centre
- Camera zooms in on character

In my recreation of the scene from the movie 'The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard' I tried to accurately recreate the scene by using similar camera shots and making my actor look similar to the ones in the actual clip. I gave my actors fake blood to make them look as close to the real thing as possible and guided them as to how to act in a similar way to the real actors. I used natural lighting just as they did in the film. I also managed to extract the background music from the original clip and add it to mine which made it seem more like the actual clip.
