Mise-En-Scene
Mise-en-scene is the settings, makeup, costume, props, physical expressions that help set the scene and themes surrounding the film, it is physical attributes; there are five elements of Mise-en-scene.
Mise-en-Scene is a french term that basically translates to 'everything we can see in the scene'. Although Mise-en-scene looks at props, expressions, colour etc, it only accounts for things that are seen, so camera angles and sound does not contribute to Mise-en-scene.
Mise-en-scene is very important as it is subtle underlying themes that appear for the audience to uncover, to give meaning and more depth to the plot or story of whatever it is they are watching, the mise-en-scene may be as complicated as becoming something very hard to analyse or it may be something that is handed to you on a plate figuratively speaking.
The five elements of mise-en-scene:
- Settings and props
- Costume, hair and make-up
- Facial and body expressions
- Lighting and colour
- Positioning of characters
