Mise en scene research and planning (Breakfast at tiffanies)

I am going to be identifying the mise en scene features from this image from a film in the Romanic Comedy genre.


This two shot image is from the Romantic comedy, 'Breakfast at tiffanies'. The two actors are, Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard. The natural lighting in the shot is slightly low key making the setting look more romantic, it is also causing a shadow appear off the characters onto the wall.The setting is in a corridor of a flat in New York. They are both smartly dressed suggesting that they are of a high class. The characters are called Holly Golightly and Paul Varjak in the film. Looking at the body language of the two characters e.g. the mans arms around the girl and there facial expressions show that they are in love as there heads are tilted and their eyes are nearly shut showing that they are about to kiss. The mask that is on Holly's head and the mask that Paul is holding are the only props that are used in this scene. As for the framing both of the characters are in the middle to make all of the focus of the shot on the two characters who are about to kiss.
