mise en scene

 

Mise en scene is the technical name for how to describe the aspects of theatre or film and how it is produced. Mise en scene tells the story in a visual way.

The aspects of mise en scene are:

Settings.
Settings are one key thing to create a visual excitement for the film or performance. The scene shows key details of what is happing in the film. its no use having a film about the western world if the setting is in space. So the whole point of the setting is to make it simple and clear where the film is being shot. It also tells you slightly about whats going to happen. Can also set the mood, if the scene is in a dark forest it could show how scary something is and if its in the bright sun at the beach it shows more of a happy mood.

You can see there are lots of different settings in this film trailor, its set in a big government house, set in the sea, set in dark gloomy places, set in a small town. there are loads of different settings in films but they all link not one is randomly placed at all.
Costumes.
Costumes are another aspect of mise en scene. They play a vital role to the visual experiance. As they also have to match the story line so if someone is soposed to be an important lady in the film they need to be wearing elegant dresses. They have lots of different costumes for every acctor most actors have more than one costume for that pasific film. But they give the visual aperance of the character what it needs. This is because you will never see a pirate in a film running round in an action scene wearing a space suit. Each individual costume represents what role the characters play. This is so the audience knows exactly what they are. Either a pirate, a lady or a super hero.
Lighting.
Much of the impact of the film comes from its manipulation of lighting. In cinema, lighting is more than just illumination that alows the audience to see the action. Lighter and darker areas within the frame help create overall composition of each shot and this guides our attention to certain objects and actions.  Lighting can also create textures in the film: The sparkle of a gem, and the shimmer on we rocks were the sea has came over them, the shine of the sun light on a actors face.
High-Key Lighting
High-key lighting involves the fill lighting to be increased to near the same level as the key lighting. because of this the scene appears very bright and soft, with very few shadows in the frame.

 

Low-Key Lighting
Low-key lighting is basically the opposite of the high-key lighting, because in low-key the fill light is at a very low level, causing the frame to be cast with large shadows instead of the less shaddows that are in High- Key.  Therfore this causes sharp contrasts between the darker and lighter parts of the framed film scene. This lighting style is most effective in film noir productions and gangster films, as a very dark and mysterious atmosphere is created from this obscuring light.

Facial expressions and body language.
 By the use of fatial expressions and the actors body language, you are able to capture the emotion of the characters. This includes postures, the gestures, and facial expressions by doing this a person can make clear by various mental, emotional or physical actions. 

props.
Props are object used by the actors performing in a film,depending on the props used these objects can help determine the narrative, identity of character and genre.
