Scene 7 is the ending of our film. Lighting highlights our main character. We use high key lighting to make the location, as well as the character appear to be friendly and kind. The location perfectly portrays the character as Mia lives in this house, how it is put across matters a lot due to her personality being presented through other factors such as location, body language etc. With few shadows it means that she can be seen as an open and well liked woman, with no secrecy or misconception. In addition, it means that Sam who enters her home, as well as her life can see that she is a welcoming and pleasant person.

Mia is obviously nervous as she is about to meet someone for the ‘first’ time and hope to make a good impression of herself. Her body language is fussy and really prepared as she rearranges the layout of her room, and almost forgets to take off her slippers. After her preparation, when Sam actually arrives it seems that the body language seems a little more relaxed and happily surprised which gives the audience a sense of relief for both characters who are to be liked.

As there is not a lot of dialogue involved in this scene, it means that facial features and expression are important and vital. For example, when Mia almost forgets to take off her slippers she looks down towards her feet and seems desperate and stressed, with the ‘negative’ emotion. It shows us that she cares a lot and takes pride in herself, and such a thing as little as that effects her. Another initial point in our film is when their eyes meet and realize who they are to each other. There delighted and surprised facial expressions allows us to see a resolution.

Mia uses flowers and other household items like an elephant ornament, candle etc. to place on the table that she has set. She ends up placing the vase with flower in the centre which presents her as a sweet person. In addition, Sam arrives to Mia’s house with gifts such as flowers and a bottle of wine which portrays his character as sweet and kind. This creates a match by using these props.

Mia wears a black and white playsuit which targets the style of formal but casual, representing her genuine and laid back personality. It demonstrates that she has put effort into what she is wearing. However, the audience gets to see her BEFORE this stage where she is getting ready in her dressing gown and slippers. As well, Sam wears a formal white shirt, brown leather jacket with the contrast of jeans which also represents him as being laid back.

Mia’s hair is straight and down which shows she has ‘let her hair down’ for this date. She also wears make up, but not too much which shows that she is not too shallow but cares about her appearance. She wears red lipstick which shows she wants to look good for her date.

There is not a lot we can say on this part, however there are parts where we get to hear Mia’s inner thought as she quickly throws her slippers off by saying ‘oh god’ in a stressful and hopeless tone, like she thought of herself stupid and when she answers the door, she is friendly and happy with her tone because she is pleased that she ends up finding such a loyal man.
