Sleepy Hollow - Mise En Scene

Style of Acting - The style of acting is quite playful but also serious, with Johnny Depp bringing some comical aspects to his reactions when he is splattered with blood but the boy and girl reacting in horror. The acting style then transitions to playful and relaxed in the house scene.

Lighting - Throughout the entirety of the clip the lighting stays quite dark and when the scene changes to the house there is alot of contrast between lighting. Especially when the child is playing with his light and the shadows are on the wall, the spooky shapes really set an intense mood.

Setting - The setting initially is in a forest at a large, twisted tree, that then moves onto a high speed chase scene in the woods, which then moves onto a house when the scene changes entirely.

Props - The forest would have been made on a set, the tree was most definetley a prop as well as the sword, the heads that came out of the tree would've been made of rubber or silicon. The house also would've been made on a set and all of the props inside it would've been made as well. All props are extremley convincing and definetly realistic and well made.
