The mummy returns

Mise-en sene
The use of mise-en scene is shown through the old fashioned Egyptian landscapes. They are shown as vast, exotic and ancient therefore showing the great power of the Egyptian rulers. The architecture looks regal and majestic as if a great king lived there.  Another use of mise-en sene is the house of the family, it is huge, detailed and intercut. This shows the wealth of the family, in the house it is filled with literature and paintings showing their culture and appreciation for arts. For example the detailed expensive portrait of napoleon.

Editing
During the opening scene fight battle the editing speeds up, cross-cutting is used continually to help emphasise the emersion of the audience into the fight and the fast editing builds up tension. The other use of editing is when Anubis the sun god is edited into the scene killing and rampaging the castle. This editing it used to bring fear into the audience as this muscly, tall, terrifying god is sene. This is used to help the audience later understand the fear of the characters.

Camera work
When the god Anubis is first seen fighting the army of the people all we see is a low angle shot of him. This emphasises his vastness and makes him seem bigger and therefor more menacing. Another use of camera work is when the hero protagonist is fighting the people at the British museum there are many point of view shots, this forces you to spend time with the character and see the film from their view. Causing you to build up a relationship with the hero.

Soundtrack

There is music is used during the fighting scene of the warriors to intensify the tension and suspense. This makes the audience feel more amused into the action and worried at what the music may be building to! Another use of soundtrack is when there is a voice over near the beginning of the piece to give a background story, so the audience then feel they know more than the antagonists, therefore they are hooked to the screen as they want to see them understand what you do.
