I only really had some issues with the last two still photos. For the first two stills, I quickly came up with the idea for my bed to be split in half, one cluttered and one empty to create contrast, while the green snake, in my mind, would obviously pop in contrast to the red of my blanket making use of color. With still 2c, I had to think about what two things I would photograph that had the right amount of difference in size so that the bigger figure would take precedence but not overshadow the smaller figure in the eye of the viewer. The frontality caused a bit more issues. I actually took multiple photos before l decided on the one chosen for quite a few reasons.  First, the placement of the camera was too far away for me and got the entire group with no emphasis on any of the Funko pops. The placement of the Funko pops was also too ensemble like and didn’t bring in the focus to the one in front as much as I wanted it to. So, what I did was change the placement of the funk pops so that the middle one was more up front than it was before, and bring the camera more close to focus on that specific Funko pop to make it more clear that I was utilizing frontality. Overall, my experience with mise en scene was fun and enjoyable, it was interesting to see how I liked to utilize the different aspects of it.
