Piano Scene

Here is a shot of our first scene from Nicolla's past, where she is playing a song on the piano.

We believe it is a level 3 because the shot is steady long shot, Nicolla's mise-en-scene is appropriate for her character and the evidence is proficent to the sequence. We chose a long higher angle shot to show the background of the room and to show her loneliness and isolation.

We included the red curtains in the background to connote Nicolla's passion for playing the piano which contradicts her character later on in the sequence.

To improve to a level 4 we could have closed the curtains and turned the piano around so she could be seen better with light on her face.
