Mise-en-scene

Mise-en-scène is an expression used to describe the design aspects of a theatre or film production, which essentially means "visual theme" or "telling a story"—both in visually artful ways through storyboarding, cinematography and stage design.

Here we can see great lighting effects on the bike to give it the shine it’s looking for. The bike has been left in view of the audience to show them they are serious characters, and are not to be messed with.

We can see here the characters are in good light, yet behind them an even brighter light to illuminate their outlines. This tells the audience once again that they mean business.

 In this shot we see that the lighting is directed from one side of his face which gives a shadowed effect on the other side.

The audience know he is a bad character and this leaves them not having any sympathy towards him, only hatrid.

The location is set outside and has the biker theme runs throughout. The costumes are tattered and dark in colour. And the use of the bike keeps up with the theme of the scene.
