Mise En Scene

In todays lesson we studied Mise en Scene. This roughly translates in English to 'What's in the scene'. So going from the definition, we mostly spent the whole lesson discussing in groups and individually about the various sections of a scene and how that impacted of how it comes across the audience and how it visually looks. There are 5 basic categories which can all be changed to make the viewer feel or think differently about the scene. These 5 categories are:

.Setting and Props
.Lighting and Colour
.Positioning of the Character
.Facial Expressions and Body Language
Costumes, Hair and Make-Up 
All of these features are compressed into making a scene and manipulating the viewer in thinking in different ways. When the features are not collaborated correctly, the results can be catastrophic as they make a whole new scene which might not even make any sense. The smallest details can make the biggest differences throughout any scenes in the film.
