Mise en scene within the film was not taken lightly, we thought about almost every aspect of the surrounding environment of the party and organised the sets accordingly.

In this video, we view the organisational standard that we went through, although the video is only brief we see a small part of the meticulous process and fine tuning of the sets, from placement of the playing cards and bottles to the general party atmosphere. Once again, Ben as the director is the main mise en scene adjudicator. However, i did take it upon my self to monitor continuity issues and ended up pointing out a few flaws in the filming that we eventually rectified.
The complexities of directing are specified during this next video.

This is genuinely one of my favourite scenes, in which 'lonely boy' is sat in a chair, solitary, and then the film is then edited to be in faster motion, as people walk by his loneliness is emphasised by him not communicating, looking or even reacting to anything that is going on around him. This shot took about 3 takes, and took the entire group and the extras' efforts. I am filming Ben, who is proceeding to direct the shot. We see his contemplation at the beginning, order of the shots and eventually finishing the shot which seemed at the time to be a wonderful achievement. We are really able to see Ben's confidence as a director, as he projects his voice, commanding the set and extras who again were incredibly enthusiastic and helpful.
This is one of my favourite shots, simply because of the sheer effort everybody put in to it. Admirations must be extended to Jake for being able to stay still for the whole duration.
