Femmefatale

Femmefatale is a striking woman that knows what she wants and knows how to get it. 
A femme fatale is a mysterious and seductive woman whose charms ensnare her lovers in bonds of irresistible desire, often leading them into compromising, dangerous, and deadly situations. She is an archetype of literature and art. Her ability to entrance and hypnotist her victim with a spell was in the earliest stories seen as being literally supernatural; hence, the femme fatale today is still often described as having a power akin to an enchantress, seductress, vampire, witch, or demon, having some power over men.

Edits and Sounds in Aviator Scene

A variety of edits and sounds have been interpreted into the scene previewed in Aviator.The first sound edits that have been added into the scene is whilst Leonardo Di Caprio is entering the plane and preparing take off. The camera shots used in this scene only last a few short seconds to show the suspense of the moment. Quick camera shots and jump shots are then used again further into the scene when Leonardo no longer has any fuel, this is to help build the suspense of what is to occur next. Another edit used in the scene is when the plane enters into the clouds. As the plane flew further into the sky the shot became more exposed and faded to white. Sounds were also another factor used in this scene from Aviator. The sound effects used in this scene varied from loud to almost silent. When Leo was entering the plane music was included into the shot, although before he took off there was barely any noise used within the shot. Shots were the sound was loudest was when he was up in the sky and the plane ran out of fuel. Overall there was a variety of wonderful different edits and sounds used within the Aviator scene.

Mise en scene

The genre of horror has been shown in this movie using mise en scene. Props and costumes are the main points that created the genre of horror more obvious. Things such as fog, shovels, axes, dead bodies, blood and guns. Props like theses have made it easier for the viewer to see what the genre is. The blood was defiantly one of the main props that helped to make the genre more obvious, this being because blood is not used in many other genre films. The dead body parts was also another factor that helped to the genre. movies of other genres generally don't have dead body parts in them. The directors use of having it set in an isolated woods made the genre much better to the audience to understand that this was obviously not a joyful film. Another factor that helped to the genre, was the use of shadow and dark lighting. this helped to give the scene more suspense. overall the director has made good use of props and costumes for the mise en scene to help show the audience the genre of horror.
