classwork - Analysis of Casablanca

Mise En Scene
This is used to bring about the classical genre of the time. Bar's, club's, cafes and police stations are all portrayed to look and feel very classy. The costumes are all very upper class, suits and long gowns and an over arching theme of stripes is used. The stripes seem to be used to either make the men and women seem broader than they actually are or it may just be used as motif and some kind of formalist editing (continuity editing). 

Lighting
The lighting in this film is definitely of a formalist film. As part of chiaroscuro the lighting creates a huge contrast between light and shadow

Camera Work

Sound
