Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: Mise-En-Scene Alalysis

Screenshot #1

In this scene or frame, we see the two main characters, Ramona and Scott, stand very close to each other. We can imply a lot about these characters from what we can see in just this single frame. Firstly, the clothing of the two characters contrast each other. On the left we see Scott, who is wearing a fully grey polo shirt, with long, untidy brown hair. Colour, like Brown and Grey, are normally associated with the word, boring and normal. However, on the other side, we have Ramona, who is wearing a bright pink shirt, similar to the colour of the hair, which unlike Scott's, has been styled in some form. The colour pink is associated, with being unique, or exciting. As well as that, Scott is facing downwards, towards the floor. This suggests a bit of arkwardness between the two characters, as they're trying to avoid eye-contact with each other, and it conveys that Scott is very nervous, because the red plastic cup in his hand has been crushed, which is mostly likely due to his nerves taking control of him.

In this screenshot we can see a low angle shot, of Evil Ex #1. In this shot, the character is wearing black make up around the perimeter of his eyes. This shows that he is an evil character, as the colour black represents, evil or villainy, this is also implied in the colour of his hair. The character is shown, with a fist up, suggesting that there is a fight going on. This creates an atmosphere of violence for the current scene. Also, the light in the background, shine on the character, drawing the attention to him, and consolidating his significance in the scene, because usually if a light is specifically shone on someone, it shows importance. The blurred figures, of the crowd is shown in the background of the scene. This makes the character look not as strong as he was sought out to be, because he looks weaker, and smaller than the other character that are higher up, or 'taller' than him

In this frame we see a split image of the two characters. We can see that Scott has a love interest for Ramona, as his eyes are wide open, which implies he can't stop staring at her. However, on the right Ramona is looking back at Scott in more of a confused manner. It is almost as if she is trying to intimidate him in an attempt to get him to stop staring. The black line used to split the two shots, may symbolize that these 2 characters are very far apart from each other when it comes to personality. Scott, on the left, has short, brown, untidy hair, with is completely the opposite to Ramona's pink and styled hair. The black split in the middle could also represent that there is a difference and a lot of opposites between these two characters.
