Mise En Scene- Supernatural

    I choose to mise-en-scene the CW show known as, "Supernatural". I've been watching this show for about 2 years due to them having 15 seasons of creepiness, amusement, thriller, and a good plot in all of their episodes. Although, the setting, lighting, acting, and staging really pulls the show all together.

      In season 11 Ep.23, the characters dean and same are attempting to stop Amara(Gods sister) from destroying the universe. Towards the end of the scene Dean is in the middle of the shot with dark clouds and a dark sky above him giving the viewers a shallow space setting. This creates suspense among the viewers keeping them on the edge of their seat waiting for something tragic to happen. While also creating a sense of concern for the character Dean if he'll make it out alive or dead.

     Soon after the setting begins to have lightness around Dean and Amara, dean is trying to convince amara to spare the universe while slowly inching up to her with a knife behind his back just in case things go wrong. This gives the audience a three point lighting, giving three directions of where the light is coming from. 

Amara then begins to listen to Deans rant, the harsh wind surrounding them seem to calm down while her dark wardrobe of a dress stops moving violently. The lighting seems to get brighter with not a sound in mind throughout the whole interaction between the two as her brother (God) finally appears out of no where to come reclaim his sister and go back to hiding together. As they both leave the closing of the scence seems to get brighter as if they are moving towards the "light" in Heaven. This forms a high key lighting.

Overall, the performance style of both Dean and Amara gave off a naturalistic method of acting. Their acting gave off strong emotions towards the audience, whether that was anger, sadness, or even happiness. The staging and the performance of this episode was what pulled the whole episode together.
