A Good Day To Die hard: Ballroom Clip - Mise-en-Scene Analysis - Clip 2



A Good Day To Die Hard is the fifth instalment of the Die Hard series starring Bruce Willis. The costumes of the characters in this clip are casual and formal. We're able to identify the antagonist who are in the suits and the protagonists who are dressed causally. The antagonists are smartly dressed this suggest that they're organised in what tasks they're going to do. In this case it's to kill the two protagonists. Furthermore, it suggest that they're wealthy or work for some one who's very wealthy due to the clothes they're wearing.
The Make-up used in this clip is blood. The blood symbolises violence in the movie and there's more to come.

The lighting used in this specific clip is very natural. It makes the movie more realistic and the audience will be more engaged with the film. This enhances the action sequences with in this clip as well including other actions sequences throughout the movie. The colours are mostly dull in this clip which suggest some sort of tension and seriousness within the movie.

This scene takes place in a ballroom. There's conflict within the setting as a ballroom is meant to be a elegant, peaceful and clam place however, in this clip it's shown to be a brawl room for the characters. Props used in this clip are guns and knifes. These weapons represents violence throughout the movie and violence to yet come. The close up shot of the knife suggests it's a sneaky way of getting out of threatening situations.

In this clip the antagonists look more tense compared to the protagonists. This could be because the protagonists are more of a threat therefore, they have twice as many men there so they're more safe. The Protagonists look more relaxed. There attitude to this situations is like they've been through it all before. Also the looks that they both exchange to each other when they're tide up is humorous. They smile at each other because they know they are able to cause more damage compared to the antagonists.
