The Proposal was made in 2009, directed by Anne Fletcher and starring Sandra Bullock, Margaret, and Ryan Reynolds, Andrew, who have the role of the main characters. On the verge of being deported and losing the high-powered job she lives for, the controlling Margaret announces she's engaged to her unsuspections, put-upon assistent Andrew. After proposing a few demands of his own, the mismatched couple heads to Alaska, where they have four short days to convince his quirky family and a very skeptical immigration agent that their love for one another is real.
There are an equal number of similarities as there are differences in the costumes, make-up and hair between the two scenes. The costumes in The proposal are highly relavent to their status and roles but in the particular scene they have both just woken up, Margaret having to grab Andrews attention into getting him into bed so that his mum didn't see the 'true' side of their 'relationship', so by this they look natural, basic, plain, coloured clothing, with neautral but warming coloured bedsheets and room surroundings. Whereas in How to lose a guy in 10 days, the scene where they realise their love for each other, they are wearing basic, comfy clothing and natural make-up. All the makeup is very natural looking yet totally flawless.
The lighting in both the scenes are relatively simlar as in The Proposal is bright, alert and natural lighting shining in from the outdoor morning sun. This relates to the fact that both the characters were rushing, panicking and hoping that nothing was establised between the parents when they entered the room. This reflects the mood and feelings for one another as they were both feeling as though they were starting to like eachother but didn't dare show there affection so this opportunity that his mother knocked on the door was actually for the better, as much as they were reluctant to admit it. Whereas in How to lose a guy in 10 days, the lighting was bleak, natural, quite dull but still had an atmostphere. This resembles the families relationship with one another as they appeared to be quite poor and not have much but they were so close it seemed as though nothing else in the world mattered except making sure that everyone was ok and were cared for. It also shows that family i important, even through the difficult times, you family are the ones always there for you and this shows in this scene where Andie realises the family she misses and how loving they were towards her.
Both film resemble the relationships between the son and his family with him moving away for a more high paid and high class job with his family being more working class and the female main character having lost her family and realising how life is so much different with them.
The positioning of the characters differes significally in the two scenes where they realise there love for one another, in The Proposal, both characters are positioned near one another bu are forced to sit separately whereas in How to lose a guy in 10 days, both characters are forced to be close to one another. Both scenarios involve the family and their view of the couple and how they should act to one another in the relationship. Both scenes feature both the main characters glancing at one another with eye connection.
The film, How to lose a guy in 10 days was made in 2003 and directed by Donald Petrie, and starring Kate Hudson, Andie Anderson, and Matthew McConaughey, Benjamin Barry are the main characters of this film. As the "How to..." columnist for trendy Composure Magazine, Andie agrees to write a first-hand account about what it takes to drive a man out of your life ... in exactly 10 days. At the same time, eligable ad agency bachelor, Benjamin, accepts a high-stakes bet that he can lure any woman into falling head-over-heels in love with him ... also in 10 days. The romantic head-on collision ignites a series of deliriously comic deceptions that prove when itcomes to true love ... your heart cannot tell a lie.
Both films feature scenes of both characters falling madly in love with one another when they didn't intend and think they would and these will be the two scenes i am going to compare. I will be analysing the mise en scene in the scenes of where both characters in
both movies realise their love for one another.The use of props and settings varies consiberably between the two movies, even though both scenes featur parts of where the family of b
oth characters are about, the are both in different situations. The Proposal features no props, only the bed which they are lay in, and themselves. On the contrary, several props are used in How to lose a guy in 10 days, these being other family members playing a card game around the table in the back yard. This is when Andie realises how comfortable she is around Benjamins family and that they get along well and that she realises what it's like to have a 'family' again. And this relates to scenes in The Proposal when she is getting ready for the wedding day and she's trying on the dress and realises the love that is involded within a family.
