mise-en-scene analysis: Sex and the city 2

1. what does the mise-en-scene tell us about the possible theme(costume)?
Within the trailer we see that the characters are well off as they constantly wear designer clothing, we also see that Carrie and Samantha are the most extravagent out of the four as they wear bigger and more eye catching clothing.How the women dress shows their high class/social status.

2.what does the mise-en-scene tell us about the individual characters?
Within the trailer we see that Samantha and Carrie are the most extravagent with their clothing compared to Charlotte and Miranda, this may be because Charlotte and Miranda have had children. Charlotte and Miranda wear more discrete clothing and expose less skin compared to Samantha and Carrie.For example Samantha wears a cut out swimming costume to the pool,which is quite revealing and also frowned up in Abu Dhabi to show that much skin.Whereas Miranda wears a Khaftan which covers up the main parts of her body. This shows Samantha is more rule breaker and more out going compared to Miranda, we can tell this throughout the trailer due to their clothing.Another example is when Carrie goes out for dinner she wears a long dress with a long slit to the top of her leg this is quite revealing compared to Charlottes more discrete dress which shows little skin, within the film we can see the Charlotte and Miranda are the mums within the group due to their outfits.
