Mise En Scene Analysis- Mean Girls

The mean girls screenshot we got to analyse showed a lot and gave away clues about the characters and where the movie was set. I analysed the picture of the people outside of the school, about to do P.E . You can tell they're all about to do P.E because the way they are dressed, as they are all wearing shorts and a gym top.

The screenshot we got is the first scene a that the 'popular' girls (named the plastics) are introduced. By the clothes Karen is wearing you can tell that she if very confident within herself, knowing she has a good body and no one would judge her because of it because she is one if the plastics. Regina is getting carried in by a group of boys, this suggests she is the leader of the group of girls as the two other girls, Gretchen and Karen, didn't get carried in.

The picture is a long shot, to show the popular girls compared to everyone else, and how they're completely different to the other people in the school. The scene has high key lighting, this might be to show that this scene is early on in the day and that they're at school. The light is mostly focused on the popular girls as they want to show off what they are all like early on in the film.
