Mise-en-Scene

 The mise-en-scène for this 2025 comedy about Billy Badass needs to rely on simple, sharp visual contrast between the boring, clean school and Billy’s chaotic actions. The school’s design is all about making the "nice" parts of modern architecture look totally lame and easily messed up. The entire setting is supposed to be aggressively sterile and super expensive, which makes it satisfying when Billy trashes it. The environment is boring and empty, floors are polished concrete, and the wide hallways are lit by harsh, bright LED strips. This sterile look means Billy's props—like expensive, specialized crickets or a hacked digital display used for the humiliating sign, stand out as simple, direct tools of destruction.

All the grown-ups have to look like losers, so Billy looks cool by comparison. The teachers and Principal Weenie wear tight, uncomfortable "smart casual" clothes like bad vests or ill-fitting blazers with annoying accessories like a bright keycard lanyard. Principal Tyrone Daquavious Weenie has to look the worst: a cheap, shiny suit that's too small, making his gross scowling face look even uglier under the harsh LED lights. The way they shake in their lame clothes shows they are losers who are super easy to overpower, justifying every single stupid, mean thing Billy does to them.
