I will focus on recreating the Blair Witch Project apology scene.  2) Create a plan of how you will do the recreation using CLAMPS . For each aspect of mise-en-scene, work out how you will recreate it as accurately as possible to the original.  Costume- Only a beanie is shown in the scene. So when filming, i'll just present myself with a beanie on.  Lighting- To recreate the same type of lighting in the scene, i'll use my phone flashlight to make it as accurate as possible.
