Isle Of Dogs
The duck tape on the rocket prop, paired with scratched off paint and rope, all carry across amateurism . The rocket is purposefully scruffy as a child is piloting it; meaning there is a possibility the child is on the lamb. This is key to the child's character as it hints to him being brave and purposeful. Perhaps he is on a quest of some sort. The dogs around him help even the shot on the top half (while also giving indication to him being on ground), and the white sky creates the feeling of a desolate landscape.
The mise en scene is used differently for these two separate genres as one is a horror thriller and the other is a comedic parody. IT Crowd is parodying Britain by using the set of a popular game show, creating comedic mockery at the dullness of it. Therefore the accurateness of the set is important to the scene as it allows them to then distort the flow of the regular programme. This is completely different to the use of mise en scene in The Craft as the Beach setting looks a bit wild with the large boulders and rocks, creating a sense of danger. All the lead actresses are wearing dark, muted colours with long hems, giving a kind of clique-esque look. The line of dead sea creatures and the panic caused is a clear foreshadowing to darker things. The far away placement of Sara to the other characters could also symbolise her distance from what they've done. Suddenly, their actions carry a weight to her.
