Mise en Scene- 'The Last King of Scotland'

In yesterdays lesson, we watched a clip from the movie 'The Last King of Scotland.' The short clip displayed two cleverly used techniques to show Nicholas Garrigans journey and the contrast between to the two places; 

Colour-
 The colour creates the atmosphere in the scene, and helps the viewer to gain an understanding of the setting. In this particular extract of the film colour is used to represent the differences between the two different settings in the film. 

Journey- 
Nicholas Garrigans journey is shown through a montage of videos giving the viewer the impression that they are literally following him on his journey, however in an interview, Michael Carlin stated that the shots were filmed in several different locations.

  1. Well done for using the word 'montage', even better if you could be more specific about the use of colour
