Mise-en-Scene of the Film 'Evil Dead 2'
Evil Dead 2 stars Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, and the film is directed by Sam Raimi. There is a scene in this film called the 'Evil Dead 2 Deer Scene' or 'Ash Goes Crazy - Evil Dead 2'. This scene is filled with Mise-en-Scene.
Within the series of shots is a deer's head as a trophy, mounted on a wall. This prop uses practical effects as it moves around by its neck, and is rather chilling with horrifying roar of laughter. The shots cut to different objects, all laughing to and mimicking it with movement, for instance books closing and opening like lips, and a lamp moving back and forwards. The lighting in this shot is artificial, as the map light is not show on the character' shadow, and is shown from above instead of on the shelf where the lamp is.
In this scene you can see all the props moving, and Ash joins them in laughing. His costume is noticeably torn and ripped where he had encountered some dangerous events prior to this scene. He has a blue collared shirt that is torn and ripped, and he is also missing a hand. This shows us his costume, and the prop he holds is a shotgun in his only hand. His facial expression in this scene is a beady eyed and wide grin as he begins to laugh maniacally with the objects that seem alive. His body expression is a cheerful dance as he bobs up and down with his arms out, showing how he has lost his mind as if it were any one sane in this scene they would certainly be too scared to join in and most likely try to run away.
Every prop present in this scene apart from the shotgun is moving on its own and laughing, and they are all in focus of the scene.
At the end of the scene, he screams in distress as he struggles to fight for his sanity, and you cans see the makeup on his face which is a lot of blood on him. His skin is sweaty and covered in dirt where he had been in situations prior to this scene, and it sticks with continuity by showing this, as well as the bordered up door. The attention to detail in this scene makes it more effective, as everything is interactive in this scene and nothing is left to be questioned.
The effects used are all practical, and most likely have little to no CGI input and the space around the actor is huge to show his desperation for company and his alone-ness.
The setting is a cabin in the night that is in the middle of the woods, we can see this clearly from the wooden room obviously being too small to be a house, and the darkness outside and the tree branches that can be slightly seen through the bordered up windows and doors as well as the deer showing that this is like a hunting ground.
