Transcript of The importance of Mise-en-scene
The importance of Mise-en-scene
in film Mise en scene is made up of five elements:
Settings & Props
Costumes, hair & make up
Facial expression & body language
Lighting and colour
Positioning of character & objects within a frame Costume, hair & make up Facial Expressions Mise en scene Settings Settings are where the action of a film takes place. They can help us understand where and when the film is set. Settings and location play an important part in film-making and are not just 'backgrounds'. Settings can manipulate an audience by building certain expectations. Props are artifacts used in film, they can be used to convey a sense of period that the film was set in and identify the genre of the film for the audience, this is known as iconography. These act as an indicator, to identity the personality of the character, also their status and job. They immediately tell us, what society the film is based around and what time period the film is set in. Facial expressions gives us a clear indicator of how someone is feeling. For example, if the character had a stern face, the audience will assume the character is angry. If this expression is held for to long, we get a sense that something is going to happen. Also, the body language of a character reflects a relationship between the 2 subjects, for example a girl in pain, grasping her neck, head tilted away from the camera. Mise en scene is a french term, meaning 'what is put into a scene or frame'. Basically everything that you see on screen. it provides information in front of the camera, communicating crucial information to the audience
Mise en scene reinforces the idea that films are constructed, nothing happens by chance. everything the viewer see's has been carefully placed, so that the audience can be drawn into the storyline of the scene Poisitioning within a frame The position of a character or object, draws the viewers attention highlighting the importance of that character/object. Positioning in a frame could also be used to portray the relationship between people. Lighting & Colour This element of Mise en scene, is used to achieve a number of effects: To highlight importance within a frame, to make a character seem more mysterious by shading sections of the face or body, to reflect the mental state or hidden emotions of a character.
