The World's A Stage: A Senior Mise en Scene Illustration by Frank Grabowski (2012)

In my narrative story my main character, Bill, wakes up on a stage and encounters people who each personify his emotions. He attempts many times to escape the confusion and absurdity of the situation but is always distracted by one emotion after another. Eventually he does manage to escape and is left with whether or not to go back to the real world or stay on stage and try and understand what happened. My Mise en Scene is that moment in which he must choose whether or not to stay or leave the theatre. In order to demonstrate the choices he faces I purposely took the picture in front of the three doors of the theatre. Each door represents a different path the character could choose for his future. His face is purposely darked out to keep him anonymous allowing each of us to relate to his indecision and the difficulty of making hard decisions.
