 MISE-EN-SCENE

• Of all film Mise-en-scene is the one that viewers

notice most, after seeing a film, we may not recall
the cutting or the camera movement's, the
dissolves or the off-screen sound.
• the shot seems a simple one, but if your starting to
think like a filmmaker, you'll notice how the image
to accentuate the action and engage our
attention.
 THE POWER OF MISE-EN-SCENE

• Film makers can use mise-en-scene to achieve

realism, giving setting and authentic look or letting
actors performs as naturally as possible. Throughout
film history, however, audiences have also been
attracted to fantasy, and mise en scene has often
been used for this purpose. This attraction is evident
in the work of cinemas first master f the technique,
George Melies used highly original mise en scene to
create an imaginary world of film.
• “Everything in the frame can
carry meaning.”
 5 ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF
SUCCESSFUL MISE EN SCÈNE IN FILM
 I. SETTING

Since the earliest days of cinema, critics and

audience have understood that setting play a more
active role in cinema than it usually does in the
theatre
The setting of a scene – that is, the literal physical
space in which it unfolds – has a huge impact on the
visuals.
 II. DECOR

• the decor, also production design, within a setting is

especially revealing. It, too, is often analyzed as
symbolic of something about the story or character.

• An important element of “putting in the scene” is

décor, the objects contained in and the setting of a
scene. Décor can be used to amplify character
emotion or the dominant mood of a film.

 III. LIGHTING

• Of course, lighting – an aspect of cinematography – is a key

contributor to a film’s look and feel, too!

• Why Is Lighting So Important?

Lighting is important in video and film production because cameras do not

respond to lights in the same way that the human eye does. The finite detail and
lighting contrasts a human eye can see are incredibly developed, and cameras
cannot process or pick up on this as well. Additional lighting is necessary to
make the definition of a video or film’s definition of a comparable quality to
what the human eye sees naturally. The correct lighting can determine the
mood of the scene and can evoke a more dramatic or subtle palette for the
film. If you are perhaps new to video and film production, the first learning curve
is understanding why lighting within production is so key. Regardless of content,
any video created, filmed, shared and watched will have had an element of
thought and design behind the lighting. The more advanced the video and film
production, the more advanced the lighting behind it.

 IV. DEPTH OF SPACE

• In many respects, a film shot resembles a paining. It

preents a flat array of colors and shpes, before we
even start to understand the image as a three
dimensional space, mise-en-scene offers many cues
for guiding our attention and emphasizing elements
in the frame.
• When we talk about “depth of space”, we’re
talking about the depth of the image
onscreen. Depth is determined by the distances
between objects, people, and scenery, influenced
by their placement along with camera location and
lens choice.
 V. COSTUMES AND MAKEUP

• If you were planning a film, you'd probably give as

much attention to what your actors wear as you
pay to their surroundings, like setting, costume can
have a great variety of specific functions in the films
overall form.
• Although it can be easy to overlook costumes and
makeup when you’re developing your screenplay,
they’re a key element of mise en scène. “What the
character is wearing and how it is arranged can say
a lot about them, or not much at all. Which is
equally important,”
AMPHITRITE AND PERSEPHONE
 SOUND

• Sound is always present, even silence is the

presence of the absence of sound. So it comes to
no surprise that film has accepted sound has a
constantly present companion as well. Most people
will focus on the beauty of cinematography, editing
or directing. But sound, noise and music in a film
influence our perception of a film just as much as
images do.
• Different Sound can tell a different story – Dwein
Baltazar
CINEMATOGRAPHY
• Cinematography is an essential part of filmmaking. It’s
about creative visuals that reinforce a narrative and
give the audience an emotional experience. It’s less
about the equipment you use and more about how you
use it, but this fact is often overlooked by contemporary
filmmakers.
• In controlling, mise en scene, he filmmaker stages an
event to be filmed. But what happens in the front of the
camera isn't the whole story. That event has to be
captured, on the strip of film or in a digital format. The
recording process opens up a new area of choice and
control.
