SHANGHAI NOON

Genre: Comedy/Action/Western

Mise en scene:

Sound: Birds tweeting (time of day, sense of place)
Sound of weapons- suspense, anticipation
Music- Western, fast paced

Props: Horses, guns, clothing, hats, knife- enhanced the comedy elements (clumsiness) also setting the scene

Setting: Country- landscape, paddock, lake, timber, shack- enhances the serenity and creates contrast

Lighting: Natural, sunny, warm

Acting: Stupid cowboys, not the usual cowboys (comedy)
Comedy dialogue, body language- playful, relaxed



Editing:

Cuts, rhythm slow to fast when playing with weapons
Shot types- over the shoulder, wide, long, low
