Above is the chosen clip that we're going to recreate. The scene comes from Episode 1 of Jessica Jones Season 2. It's a simple scene, 1 location, 2 actors, only a few props and not a huge amount of dialogue. This allows us all to have a lot to do in our roles.
Cinematography
Throughout this scene, we have a very simple lighting style. Dark and dim, mixing well with the emotions of the scene. As well as working for the setting which is in an apartment in New York City, so we see both hallway light and street light flooding into the room, allowing us to see what's going on and not needing a light to be switched on within the scene. We get a very faint light on Jessica at the opening and throughout this sort of cold and dark feeling, working well as Jessica is broken in this scene from her families ashes being on the floor. We only see Jessica as portrait until Malcolm starts to clean up the ashes, then we finally see all her face and all the emotions which follows.
The scene is very locked off shots in regards to the camera. One shot being very low down and having both Jessica and the ashes in shot, reminding the viewers of why she's sad and keeping them as one of the main focus. The majority of the shots are singles, not having both characters in shots and just focusing on their dialogue. All the shots are either locked off on tripods or in a stabiliser as we can see very small movement from the camera towards the end of the scene.
I feel with this, I could really experiment with this scene and try some techniques I've never tried before.
