The Empire Strikes Back

 Mise-En-Scene 

LIGHTING: I picked when the swords lit up because it suggests  fear, battlefield. The audience feels suspense and it builds up from the battle with the two people that have the laser swords.

COSTUME: The actors costume emphasis that they are equipped to battle as one of the actors have a mask and a body armour whereas the other actor has normal clothing but a hint of   robust.


Camera Shots & Angles

CLOSE UP SHOT: I picked close up shot ( when the camera is in Darth Vaders face). I specifically picked this shot to show his authority against Luke sky walker. He gives an eerie tone even when he speaks suggesting that this character is potent and feared. 


LOW ANGLE: I picked this angle to show his authoritative nature, making the subject look big and powerful. The audience might react to this as a shocking surprise. 

Audio

SOUND EFFECTS: The swords hitting each other create a loud frantic sound suggesting that it will be a deadly attack battlefield.


SILENCE: Making the actors reflect on their behaviour especially when Luke Skywalker threw Dark Vader off the platform. This makes him feel slightly guilty in silence.
