Mise en scene

This shot is when Bud goes to visit Lynn at her home. Because she is a prostitute, Lynn's home needs to be very comfortable and inviting. One of the ways the director conveys an inviting mood is by the coloring in the background. The off white color in the drapes creates a sense of elegance in Lynn's home. For a potential customer, the softness of the colors in her bedroom lead them to believe that she is pure and innocent. Another way the setting gives off an inviting mood is by the overall organization of the props in the background. Most of the small objects such as the drapes, chair, and the lamp are very linear in this shot. The linearity of the objects in Lynn's home send a message to the viewer that she is very organized and "clean." It is very important for any person that goes into Lynn's home to feel invited. The warm and comforting colors along with the linear placement of objects in the shot give off the an inviting feeling to any person that goes to Lynn's home
