Sound and Mise-en-scene

Mise-en-scene

Mise-en-scene is the arrangement of scenery and stage properties in films

and TV. It refers to everything that appears before the camera and its
arrangement:

props

lighting

costume

makeup

facial expressions

composition

Setting and locations play an important part in the film making and are not
just 'backgrounds'. A prop is an object in the scene and affects the look of
the location and can change a persons perspective on the character that

it belongs to.

Costume, hair and makeup act as an instant indicator to us of a characters

personality, job and status and can even indicate the time era the film is
set in.

Fac
al

expressions and body language provide a clear indicator of how someone

is feeling. Face expressions can sometimes mean something different for
example a smile could be happy or evil.

Positioning of characters and objects within a frame can draw attention to

an important subject. Body positioning can show relationships between
people. E.g the main focus is on the gun and his facial expressions.

Lighting and colour can be used to achieve a variety of effects and

highlight important characters with in the frame. Shadows can make
characters look mysterious or menacing. Colours can indicate if a scene
should be happy or sad for example bright colours create a happy
environment where as black and dark colours make the feeling more
depressing.
