MISE EN SCENE

  • WHAT IS PUT INTO A SCENE/FRAME 
  • VISUAL INFORMATION IN FRONT OF CAMERA
  • COMMUNICATES ESSENTIAL INFORMATION TO THE AUDIENCE
  • EACH ASPECT HAS A HIDDEN MEANINGS WITIN A FILM AND SENDS SIGNALS TO THE AUDIENCE ABOUT HOW WE ARE SUPPOSED TO FEEL AT A CERTAIN POINT 
SEVEN ELEMENTS OF MISE EN SCENE : 

  1. SETTING & PROPS
  2. COSTUME
  3. HAIR & MAKEUP
  4. FACIAL EXPRESSIONS & BODY LANGUAGE
  5. LIGHTNG
  6. COLOUR 
  7. POSITIONING IN THE FRAME 
SETTING & PROPS:

I HAVE INCORPORATED RED COLOUR FOR ROMACE AS RED IS USED TO SYMBOLISE LOVE AND INTIMATE SETTING. I HAVE USED LOW LIGHTING/ CANDLE LIGHTING TO SHOW A RELAXED AND CLOSE FEEL TO MAKE THE MOOD ROMANTIC AND COMFORTABLE. I HAVE ALSO USED A ROSE/ROSE PETALS AS A SIGN OF AFFECTION TO THE PEOPLE IN A SCENE.




FACIAL EXPRESSIONS & BODY LANGUAGE:

  • FACIAL EXPRESSIONS - PROVIDE CLEAR INDICATOR TO HOW THEY FEEL (MIGHT DIFFER IF MUSIC DOESN'T CORRELATE )
  • BODY LANGUAGE-HOW ONE CHARACTER FEELS TOWARDS ANOTHER OR REFLECT THE STATE OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP
POSITIONING OF CHARACTERS AND OBJECTS WITHIN A FRAME 
  • WHERE OBJECTS AND CHARACTERS ARE POSITIONED 
  • OBJECTS AND CHARACTERS CAN BE IN THE FOREGROUND, MIDDLE-GROUND OR BACKGROUND ( SHOW AUTHORITY/IMPORTANCE OF OBJECT/CHARACTER)
  • IF CHARACTERS/OBJECTS ARE POSITIONED EVENLY WITHIN THE FRAME THIS WILL GIVE A BALANCED FEEL TO THE SHOT
  • IF THE CHARACTERS ARE POSITIONED AT THE OUTSIDE EDGES OF THE FRAME THEN THIS INDICATES A DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM ( YOU CAN ALSO SEE BACKGROUND)
  • DEEP FOCUS-WHERE BOTH FOREGROUND AND BACKGROUND ARE IN FOCUS IT ENABLES THE AUDIENCE TO CHOOSE WHAT THEY WILL FOCUS ON AND WHAT THEY WILL LOOK AT
  • FOCUS PULLING
  • draw attention to something/carry a meaning
  • CENTRE OF THE FRAME 
COSTUME,HAIR AND MAKEUP
  • ACTS AS AN INSTANT INDICATOR TO US OF A CHARACTERS PERSONALITY, STATUS AND JOB
  • WHERE THE FILMS SET / WHAT SOCIETY AND CULTURE
  • SYMBOLIC MEANING ( CLOAK-VAMPIRE)
  • CONTRAST IN COLOURS FROM BLUE VIBRANT CARS TO THE GREY DULL BUILDINGS
