MISE-EN-SCENE

Mise-en-scene is used throughout the Hurt Locker by showing costumes such as army uniforms and bomb disposal suits that were used when bombs or fires went off. These costumes were extremely realistic in that they showed the environment as a war-zone and furthermore added to show the appearance and genre of the fill.

Other props such as heavily armed tanks and firearms can be seen throughout the film to too represent an extremely realistic war environment. The authenticity of the tanks creates a very realistic effect as they are coated in dirt and battle marks which further empathises the authenticity of the props.

Finally, civilians appear very realistic in that they were Arabian robes and hoods in order to show the setting and environment of the scene and portray s what kind of location the film is in.

    Aim to be very precise when describing the clothing and weapons: describe them in detail. How is the mise-en-scene used to create effects?
    This means also doing some explaining, which you have partly done, for example by alluding to how an authentically Middle Eastern location is created.
    I would have also referenced the protective clothing with its huge padding, helmets, visors etc which underlines the sheer peril of the explosive device.
