Mise-en-Scene~Non-Verbal Communication



I  picked this photo because it was a moment where Lynn wasn't too verbal with her feelings, yet you could see exactly what she was thinking in her face and how she is positioned. At this moment in the scene, Bud confronted her about sleeping with Exley, which scared the living crap out of her. She's holding on to the house out of fear and wanting protection, because it is the only thing she could hold on to at this time. I also noticed that her hair had been put up in the scene, dragging more attention to the tension in her eye brows, as well as the worry in her eyes. The lighting is noticeably darker in this scene, which adds to the emotional state.

This image from Double Indemnity was one of the more memorable moments, considering it was when she was beside her husband getting killed. Like the moment above from L.A. Confidential, this was a moment where Phyllis hadn't said anything, yet you could just about see what she was thinking through the mischievous smirk on her face. Her eyes look glossed over, which could either forming tears of adrenaline, or perhaps even happiness. This scene is especially dark, highlighting mostly just her face, which really brought attention to her given facial expression.
