ESSAY WINNER!!

Mise-en-scene and cinematography work together to create the plot of Inception. Wally Pfister, the cinematography, used many aspects of cinematography to convey the plot the story. In the beginning of the plot, he shows Cobb unconscious at the shore. He uses a close up on Cobb's face to show he's been in a tough situation. The figure behavior looks exhausted asnd beaten.

Christopher Nolan and Wally Pfister used different props and different camera angles to portray the plot of the story. During the climax where (Joseph Gordon- Levitt) was fighting the projectors in the hotel, there were a lot of flashbacks to the three other dreams they entered to show that they are connected. As the van was slowly dropping in the water he used a straight angle to show motion effects. As Authur was fighting the projectors the scene showed how gravity changed in the dream as the first scene shows the van tipping over. The angle suddenly changes to a canted framing.

Without mise-en-scene, it is hard to understand the plot. Without the cinematography, the climax and the plot would be less intriguing. The importance of the scenes wouldn't be emphasized in the plot. The pot off entering the human mind through dream invasion using technology, an idea within's one's mind can either be the most dangerous weapon or the most valuable asset, wouldn't be portrayed.
