Mise-En-Scene Blog Post

                                 How We Developed Nova Skye

🎯 Summary of Our Activity Goals

Our goal was to create a multimedia mise-en-scene that brings a fictional character to life using visual, audio, and physical elements. We were given a prompt about a former singer who loves storytelling and lives in a cozy apartment filled with records and memories. Our challenge was to design a character and build a station that reflects her personality, lifestyle, and emotional depth. We wanted the audience to feel like they were stepping into her world.


🌟🩵🎤 The Summary and Development of Our Character

Nova Skye is a retired singer with a sharp wit and a love for storytelling, living in a cozy apartment filled with records, books, and memories. Our group developed her as a middle-aged woman with hazel eyes, tan skin, and wavy blonde hair streaked with silver, wearing a blue sundress, glasses, and gold jewelry. We chose the name Nova Skye because it felt dreamy and musical, fitting her calm, reflective personality. Her space is warm and inviting, with soft lighting, nature sounds, and personal touches like a record player, microphone, and awards that hint at her past. She listens to songs like Put Your Records on and Riptide and often shares life lessons with younger neighbors. Through mood boards and props we brought her to life as a character who represents creativity, comfort, and connection.

🎨 🎬What We Created to Illustrate Her Character

To represent Nova Skye, we created mood boards showing her favorite music, fashion, and home decor. These helped us visualize what she likes and what she does. We imagined her giving advice to a neighbor and even created a trivia activity where people had to finish the lyrics to one of her favorite songs. We chose tracks like Put Your Records on by Corinne Bailey and Riptide by Vance Joy to reflect her vibe. We also included props like a microphone, vinyl records, and an award to show her past as a performer.

🚉🖥️💻Description of How We Organized the Character Station

We set up the station to feel like Nova’s apartment. We covered all four tables with a blanket to create a cozy atmosphere and placed a pillow in the center. We added books, phonographs, and posters to show her interests. Three computers were used, one displayed her mood board, another for trivia, and the other played a “Day in the Life” video and karaoke. We printed out visuals and used soft lighting to make the space feel warm. The room was green because that color represents calmness, which fits Nova’s personality.

🤝 Reflection on Our Group’s Process

We started developing Nova Skye by brainstorming ideas as a group. We wanted a name that sounded musical and unique, and we all agreed on Nova Skye. Then we imagined her as a middle-aged woman who used to be a singer and now shares stories and advice with her neighbors. We chose her look, style, and personality based on the prompt and added details like her favorite songs, cozy apartment, and personal items to make her feel real.
