Mise en scene in Leon 

Mise en scene	How are each of these elements presented in Leon? Are they conventional?
Costume	-Leather full chest holster- costume, is important as part of his job.  Prepared for anyone or another job.       -Mother looks made up, dresses inappropriately. Sister is dressed for working out. Gil wants to watch TV.       -The girl dresses strange as she has no role model.       -He is mad because his suit got ruined so he does an over kill on the guy.
Lighting	-Lighting – dimmed down to show mystery.       -When he opens the door to the girl the light goes from dim to light on her face this is to see her emotion.
Props	-They have big guns which show how serious the situation is. Cocaine is an important prop as you know they are the bad guys.       -Plant + spray – shows he can look after things and that he isn’t just a killer. It stands out.       - Hole in door to look at the girl – protective, curious.       - Weapons – can show how dangerous he is.       -  Plant – substitute child, cares a lot for, lonely. It means everything to him. Center stage so when he walks in it’s the first thing he sees.        - Picture of religion- not normal as religion is peaceful, but he may believe what he is doing is for god.       -  Glasses – hides his face, identity, when he was killing people. Hides his emotions. Important.       -  He sleeps in a chair – to be prepared if someone comes in.        -   Tissue to wipe away the blood.       - Gary’s costume – suit.
Setting	- Dirty grimy walls and now blood is added to it.       -  Girls house – has stuff everywhere, his house has nothing.       -   The kitchen is messing, shows he doesn’t really care much for it.
