Ideas for Mise-En-Scene

This extract from The terminator Two is perfect to gather ideas for our mise-en-scene. As both are set in a psychiatric institute, both will have similar aspects. The white costume for Sarah sparked ideas for the colourless outfit in our opening sequence, corridors seen is this extract are similar to those in Cambridge's Addenbrookes Hospital. A corridor equivalent to this would definitely portray an empty yet ongoing atmosphere, ultimately making the opening more ghastly. The alarm, sounding at 4:26 is ideal to use in our opening when the patient cannot be found, having the alarm at different volumes throughout the extract helps emphasise the different locations of each character. We could change the tone of the siren to match each characters interpretation of the situation (or altering the quality of the sound when the CCTV are monitoring the rooms as they have pour quality microphones attached).

For our alarm we searched the college for alarms that could qualify as a hospital alarm in a psychiatric ward. These are our findings;

We felt that none of these match our ideas of a siren at a pysciatric ward.
