Mis en scene

Mise en Scene

Essentially it is the information in front of the camera for the audience to help them to work out what is going on.
It's made up of 5 elements:                                                                                                                          
  • Costume and makeup                                                                                                              
  • Setting and props                                                                                                                   
  • Lighting and colour 
  • Facial expressions and body language 
  • Positioning of characters/ objects within the frame
Types of Lighting

  • Low key lighting - created by using the key and back lights. It produces a sharp contrast of light and dark areas. Deep, distinct shadows/ silhouettes formed. E.g Horror
  • High key lighting - More filler lights are used. Lighting is natural and realistic to our eyes. Produces brightly lit sets or a sunny day. E.g Rom-com
