Mise En Scene

In todays lessons we studied Mise En Scene. This roughly translates into English as 'Whats in the scene'. So therefore as the translations states, we spent the majority of the lesson talking about the various  sections of a scene that impacts how it looks and comes across to the viewer . There are 5 basic categories which can all be changed to make the viewer feel or think differently about the scene. The 5 categories are listed below:  

1. Lighting and Colour. 
2. Setting and Props.
3. Positioning of the Character.
4. Facial Expressions and Body Language.
5. Costumes, Hair and Make-Up. 

All of these features are compressed into making a scene and manipulating the viewer in different ways. When the features are not collaborated correctly, the results can be catastrophic as they make whole new scene in which might not even make any sense. The smallest details can make the biggest differences throughout any scene in films.
