Mise-en-scene

 Mandalorian Season 2 Ep 1

Setting - The episode takes place primarily on Tatooine, a classic star wars planet. The dry, desolate desert makes the viewer feel alienated and not at home. But at the same time, something about the desert feels so natural (aside from the gargantuan sand monster of course). The setting moves the story forward, being set in a small, poor village in the middle of the desert.

Lighting - Towards the beginning of the episode, lighting is interwoven into the narrative. Our main character, the mandalorian, goes to a dark planet to receive intel. On this planet, the paths are lit up by streetlights, however, ominous creatures are seen in the dark, just off the path. Skipping forward in the scene, the Mandalorian gets in a fight and shoots a lightbulb above the man he's fighting. Surrounded by darkness, the man gets overcrowded by the creatures in the dark. The lighting tells the story of these creatures.

Costume - Being Star Wars, costume plays a large role. Many alien character designs are based off of whether they're good or evil. However, in this episode, costume plays a big role in the narrative due to a character having stolen someone's armor. This stolen armor drives the episode and its story forward because the mandalorian needs that armor.

Staging - There's a scene in a bar, in the desert, that is staged and shot to be like a movie from the old west. The staging of the scene is intense, having close ups of two actors faces who are about to get in a shootout. This scene is a nice callback to classic westerns.

5 Master Shots with Sound

        1) Offscreen sound - The first clip uses offscreen sounds for both weatherby and myself. When i'm sleeping, soft music is playing. And while Weatherby is running around, circus music is playing. Since these sounds directly in the scene, they're offscreen.

       2) Post-synchronization dubbing - This occurs when a sound effect is added over a scene that has been filmed, a dub. Since the sounds of the car were added afterward, it is an example of post-synchronization dubbing.

       3) Music - Music was simply added to the scene to strengthen the effect and the emotions that the toilet paper has over Weatherby in his time of need.

        4) Sound Bridge - A sound bridge occurs in this scene due to sounds being carried over throughout two scenes, hence the term sound bridge. The sound bridge adds to the atmosphere of the overall scene and sets the mood.

       5) Non-diegetic sound - Non-diegetic sound may be something the audience can hear but not the characters. That is exactly what is happening in this scene. The audio is clear to the viewer and adds a sense of comedy, yet the characters cannot hear it.
