Scene in Moonrise kingdom



This is a composition is taken at 1:05:52 in Moonrise-Kingdom which might be seen from what might be a trooper’s point of view of a long shot of this far in the movie might be the head quarters of the Khaki Troop. This mise en scene is broken down into three layers. A scout is sitting in a chair off to juxtaposed to the front and right of the tent that looks to be an elder of who is being shaved by a scout. This shows that he has some importance and might be the leader. In the second layer the tent and totem pole. The tent is centered and say Command tent, presumably is the leader of the regime Tent to operate out of. Along with this is the totem pole placed behind two men giving more of an idea that these men are important suggesting that they are the “high men on the totem pole”.  The next thing that is noticed is the fence in the background showing the name Fort Lebanon in prominence. Giving the viewer the name and that the fort is more important or just overall bigger due to troop 55 not having a name shown so prominent display. Next the order and neatness of how everything is organized and with nothing out of place gives hint that the troop is very well organized and precise. The tent is centered with the name of the camp centered right above, along with the 2 lamps and towers (not that but not sure what to call them) are placed equidistant from the center giving the place a strict no nonsense feel.
