What is the importance of mise en scene and/or sound in creating meaning and generating response in the films you have studied?
City Of God (COG) and La Haine (LH) are both full of contextual mise en scene throughout. it is very important that the shots include these messages in the background as it explores the issues in the location at that time.
in COG the movie starts off in the most present day and we see the favellas in brazil are dark, dirty and closed in. when the film goes back to the same place in the sixties we see a huge change in the cities structure. the is alot more space and less houses, meaning that there was alot more opportunity for the people and freedom. we also see the control the police have as whenthe woman is found dead there is a crowd of people and police.
