Office Sequences
In terms of the mise en scene of the office, I am aiming to make it look bleak and boring. I want the shots to hold a lot of space around the characters. In doing this I aim to create a view of the office as an unappealing, monotonous space. It is limbo after all. The two pictures underneath help display my point.
'The Office', especially, does a great job of creating a very unappealing aesthetic.
Interview Room
As the interview room is St. Peter's and the equivalent of the gates to heaven it needs a bright almost Holy look to it. Giving the audience a hint of what the real meaning of the film is about, but also acting as a taste of heaven for the character Simon. The image below gives an example of a screen filled with white.
We need a white room, and also to fiddle with the exposure to give it a supernatural glow.
Flashbacks
To contrast the mise en scene of the scenes in limbo, I would like the flashbacks to contain a lot more colour and look a lot warmer. The warm colours can also give the flashbacks a dreamlike quality, making it look less daunting, and also suggest that these scenes are in Simon's head. This also makes the cuts to flashback clearer, because the colours of each time frame are so different. The two images below are a good example of the sort of rich, warm colours I want to replicate.
