Mise en Scene

Mise en scène is defined as the placement of actors and scenery on a stage for a theatrical, film or television production. 

(Filmmakers concentrate on storytelling through a single image.)

Elements that make up Mise en Scène

  • props 
  • set design 
  • costumes
  • makeup
  • color
  • lighting
  • blocking
  • framing
  • lenses
  • sound
  • frame rate
  • music
There are two types of Mise en scène - Naturalistic and Theatrical 

Naturalistic: the world in the film matches our own, so it is familiar and realistic.
Theatrical: exaggerated world, emphasizes the artificial nature of its world (ex. seen in science fiction/dystopian films)

I'm excited to incorporate some of these elements in the opening of my film, so that I can create meaning.
