mise en scene definition- To organise every single aspect that can be visually seen within a picture, to create an effect on the viewers.

Ext. Mise en Scene regardlessly focuses on the actual visual objects within the viewframe of the camera that intendedly impacts the audience’s perspective on the film

8/10
For me, the most memorable scene is when Arthur reads the files about himself, his mother, and Thomas Wayne in the stairwell. It is a big turning point for Arthur, as it can be seen as the moment he decides to continue fighting back. His killing before this were in self-defense, but from now on, he’s the attacker, and with anger. The camera in the scene is angled, shaky, and even a bit out of focus, allowing the audience to skim the important details instead of having a wall of text, and helping the audience to put themselves in Arthur’s shoes in terms of how disorienting the moment is.

Arthur’s laughing where another film would have crying is very unsettling, and has an even stronger emotional effect with the context that Arthur’s laughing is compulsory and uncontrollable even to the point of being painful. This discomfort paired with both the explicit and implied suffering of Arthur only makes the scene more effective.

I would give Joker an 8/10.

My most memorable scene would be the scene when Arthur walks away from after the police get beaten at the train station. The way he so nonchalantly walks away and the slow the clip down with such dramatic music over the top. scene like this are normally seen when a hero walks away from an explosion or a collapsing building carrying a civilian. this contrast between Joker and a hero highlights the decline of his sanity and the anarchy in which the joker represents.
