Final Film Opening

Mise En Scene

In todays lesson we studied Mise en Scene. This roughly translates in english to 'Whats in the scene'. So as the traslation states we spent the lesson talking about the various sections of a scene that imact how it looks and comes across to the viewer. There are 5 basic catagories which can all be changed to make the viewer feel or think differently about the scene. The 5 categories are:
Setting and props
Lighting and colour
Positioning of the character
Facial expressions and body language
Costumes, hair and makeup
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 a whole new scene which might not even make any sense. The smallest details can make the biggest differences throught any scene in films.
