Movie Opening Blog Post #13



Planning Post Focusing On Mise-en-scene Element -

There isn't really a lot of important items that I could've incorporated before my last blog post but because of my last blog post I have some extra things to add within my move openings. All these Items are items that I've found on amazon and that I've already purchased but I can't take pictures of them in my had because they haven't arrived yet.

All these items that I wish to incorporate within my movie opening are related to my previous blog posting because of the reason that Luke means Light-Giving, and in Judaism it means, "Light To Shield Against Darkness," which in the movie opening would mean that Luke is the light and the doppelgänger is the darkness. Since those are the Judaism meanings, I wish to have some Jewish items within my movie opening to express that Luke is Jewish and I especially want to have the Star of David necklace around Lukes neck to maybe hint at the fact to the viewers that the reason nothing is ever happening to Luke is because of the special meaning that his name has and the fact that he's Jewish.



The main reason for the incorporation of this Star of David necklace is because I want it to seem as if Luke has a type of protector within himself and this Star of David necklace really helps maybe hint that there is something up with him and that's why he can only be haunted and not attacked by this doppelgänger that IS haunting him.

This is called a Menorah and I don't have any specific reason of adding this to my movie opening other than I wanted to have more Jewish items to really push the fact that Luke is Jewish and have the viewers think and put the pieces together that there is more to the movie than just a doppleganger.


This is called a Mezuzah and there is a good reason for why I have added this item. This item has a purpose, "Biblical commandment: A commandment from Deuteronomy 6:9 to "write them upon the doorposts of thy house and upon thy gates" and also, I got this info from google but, "mezuzah began to be interpreted as an apotropaic device, protecting the house from forces of evil,"
A Mezuzah is to be put on the right door frame and the purpose of it is that it will be on the bathroom door that I'm in, and the Mezuzah will be the reason for which Lukes "Mom" can't come in the bathroom. The only reason that Lukes Doppleganger can be with him at all times is because Lukes doppelgänger is a part of Luke.
