'Ghost' 1990

Narrative/Story 

The film 'Ghost' is the story of a women who dramatically loses her boyfriend when he is murdered. However he appears to hang around on earth and a ghost trying to communicate with his wife and a 'medium' who suprisingly is able to hear him. Once he realises this he uses the 'medium' to try and solve the case of the murder which he soon finds out was a set-up from his so called 'best friend' to try and steal all of his money once dead. However this story also shows the journey of his girlfriend dealing with his death and trying to move on. However by the end of the film he is able to communicate with her. This is similar to the film my partner and I are trying to make as certain scenes and idea's resemble our short film. For example when the man in Ghost is killed he comes face to face with his dead body, trying to scream for help however no body can hear him obviously as he is a ghost which is a scene we hope to re-create. Also the idea of having to say goodbye to your loved one even if they can not hear you if something my partner and I are trying to portray in our short film.

Mise En Scene

The Mise En Scene in this film is quite effective. for example once the man is dead he is still wearing the same clothes he died in throughout the movie. However the clothing and make-up is basic which is something that will probably change for our film. however when the man dies the use of make-up is creative and he is covered in blood.
