Mise en Scene

The Dark Knight interrogation scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ChPTKPzB4I&safe=true)


Props: The only props in the scene are the lamp which shows the gloomness of the interrogation rom as the lap is the only thing that gives sight of what is going on, the other prop used in the scene are The Joker's handcuffs, which are taken off to signal that Batman will be interrogating The Joker or possibly the other way around.

Costume: The Joker has his usual outfit that he has worn throughout the film, except his blazer. This indicates he has been locked up now for at least a few hours. Batman is wearing his usual costume.

Lighting: The lighting is harsh, as they are in an interrogation, the only light is a very bright lamp, which conveys the harsh and gloomy nature of the scene as well as one of the film's overall themes of pressure which causes chaos.

Colour:


Makeup: The Joker is wearing his usual clown makeup but on this occasion, it s fading and is smudged. This indicates he has been in the police station for a long time.

Tension

Debra Knight said that "the thrill comes from prolonging the inevitable. Tension should be like a rubber band. You should see how much you can stretch that rubber band because as the rubber band is streched more and more, more tension is created. Narrative strands are an important part of creating tension. Narrative strands are different stories within one show or one film, it creates more interest for the viewer because they can follow multiple stories, not just one character in their quest. For example, in my TV show, i wlll have multiple strands starting with the main strand of a police offcier also being a criminal, I will have secondry strand ssuch as his wie's addiction, his children's school life and the cop's friends from bth of his careers. Most of these strands, if not all of them would combine at the end in order to have a big finale. The prospect of the narrative strands combing together creates tesnion, such as the protagonist's cop friends meeting his criminal friends. The ig finale then gratifies the tension.

Idea for pilot

The pilot begins with a man taking his police badge off and putting a ski mask on. Moving on to act one, the protagonist's daily routine is shown. He is a police officer. He is shown stopping a person who robbed a local store at gunpoint. He goes back to the police station to be told by the chief that what he did was too reckless. He then goes home to his family. He has a wife who has her own inner demons, and two children. Both young boys. However, the protagonist's life is turned upside down when two loan sharks show up and kick his door down. They say that his wife owes their gang $100,000. She took out a loan of $50,000 to desperately feed her drug habit, which is hinted at when there is a needle on her desk just before her husband walks in. She did not realise that there was a 50% interest rate on the loan.  The loan sharks say that their boss wants the money in one month or her whole family will be turned into "TV dinners". The husband berates her addiction, calling it "weak-minded" and "selfish." However, he has to get the money very quickly, in order to save himself, his children and his wife. He somehow gets involved in a heist on a goods warehouse, where he coups $200,000. During the heist, he feels the adrenaline of being chased and causing chaos. After the hiest, he looks at all the money he got and the rush he had and realises that he has no restrictions when he is a criminal and gets a sizable amount of money which pays off the debt, but means his family can live in luxury. Act 4 shows him in another heist, having the time of his life. He is now addicted to heists, which establishes a connection between his wife's drug addiction. He comes home late at night  and enters his child's bedroom where his youngest boy asks "Did you catch the bad guys?" He now leads a secret double life and the pilot ends.
