Language of the Film

We saw a lot of elements regarding language of the film through the whole movie and some of them are the following.

Mise-en-scene
  • Settings: Most of the actions of the movie happens in the new town Jimmy has arrived. Also, an important place in the movie is this kind of castle in which the climax of the film takes place.
  • Acting: Only actors and actresses.

  • Costumes: Young people represented a specific period in which the youth of that time wanted to see changes in their society. It was a time of revelry and social issues. On the other hand, old people wore very formal clothes in difference with the young people that wore more informal clothes.
  • Lighting: Most is developed using dark lighting in order to give it more drama to the story. Some shots, as the one in the planetarium, were very dark and frightening. However, there are some shots which had a lot of illumination most of all the shots that showed us the environment of the town in which the story is settled.
  • Make-up: The use of make-up was not that important because each actor represented had an average age of the characters they performed.
  • Print: Diegetic: The name of the high School that Jimmy Stark attended and the name of the Planetarium. Non-Diegetic: All the information regarding to the movie that the characters can not see.
