Mise en scene research and planning (The Proposal)

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, 'The Proposal'. The two actors are, Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. The natural, high key lighting makes the scene happy and upbeat. The setting is in the streets in America. They are both smartly dressed suggesting that they are of a high class. The characters are called Margret Tate and Andrew Paxton in the film. Looking at the body language of the two characters it shows that in this scene the man is more dominant due to the fact that his is on a higher level and the woman is knelt on the floor looking up to him however they are both smiling so it looks as if they are getting along. The framing shows both of the characters in the centre to make all of the focus of the shot on the two characters who are in deep conversation.The phone and bag that the actress is holding are the only props used in this scene. The colours of the image are bright and dark which makes the image interesting to look at.
