Mise-En-Scene Analysis of Patch Adams Clip

Costume: This short clip within the film focuses on patients having a meeting with a doctor. The Patients are wearing clothes that are given by a hospital such as long gowns and loose clothing consisting of light colours like white, indicating that they are still undergoing treatment. The doctor is wearing a white coat meaning that he is also highly educated.

Actors: The actors in this scene present to us that they are mentally unstable, because they are not co-operating with the doctor. They are finding it amusing that there is a paralysed person in the same room as them and cannot take the issue seriously as they are laughing. Actor Robin Williams however is slightly more understanding and highlights to the Doctor that the paralysed patient may also have feelings. The Doctor plays a very serious role in this scene and cannot take the patients behaviour so he leaves and gets other workers to get the patients out the room. This connotes that the doctor does not have patience and cannot control patients to this level.

Props. In this scene they are in a bedroom with multiple beds and chairs, the paralysed patient is on a wheelchair, and around the room there are cages around the windows, which could suggest that these rooms are like prisons to patients.

Lighting: The lighting in this room is dark, and it could be said that the only source of light is the light from the windows, The colour of the walls and bed match the patients clothes. the room seems to be very gloomy.
