Miese En Scene:
The movie Alian is classified as a science fiction movie, because it is an unrealistic movie, but made to look real by the effects that had been added. The lighting was dark, and flickered, to give the effect that it was a dark scene, and something bad was bound to happen. The setting was artificial, in a dungin, or a dark and deserted factory, and it gave the effect of being dark, hollow and very lonley place. The Male character was strong and showed that he was unnawear of what was to occure, he seemed very calm, he had no precautions. He wore a hiwian shirt, and casual pants, and a simple cap (this represents that it may have been daytime out side, and it has gotten darker, as he has come further into the factory, or that he had been looking for his cat for so long that night has fallen). The man was ovboiusly not expecting anything like this to happen. His only desire was to find his cat "Jonesy" and he showed no weakness to give up, striving for his goal to be reunited with his cat. In the background, there is a very simple, echo noise, and screeches, and bels, or chains moving, which represents the fact that it is pretty deserted, you can hear sudden screaches, and the mans heartbeat, which also focus on the fact that he was reletivley calm. This noise, creats anticipation, and keeps a suspence so the audience will continue to watch. The man becomes more aleart to the fact that there is something lurking in the building, when he hears noises, and finds the shedded skin of an alian.

Cinematography:
The camera angle, and position gives the effect in the movie. The camera position seems to follow the man who is searching for hiss cat, and follows over his sholder, it slows down, and focus on something. When something is bound to happen, and the noises get very intence, the camera flickers around in differnt angles and positions, as if it were him looking for something in the room. Sudden jols, and movements along with the sound effects that go with it, represent many elements and drematic effects. There is much happening in the camera, and fast movements, then all of a sudden it flicks back to the shocked face of the cat, and you get a relief from what you have just seen that it is all over, the suspence is gone, the man has died, and you feel anxious still wondering about the cat. After a very fast and intecne scene, it flick over to a calm and more relaxed scene.
