1. MISE-EN-SCENE

2. THE 5 ELEMENTS OF MISE EN SCENE
 Costume, hair and makeup
They are instant indicators to the audience of a characters personality, status and
job. Also they can tell us whether the film is set in the present and what society or
culture the film is based around.
 Facial expressions and body language
They are clear indicators of how people are feeling. Also how characters are feeling
towards each other.
 Lighting and colour
Colour carries connotations which can highlight the meaning of scenes. It can give
set the mood of a scene and can also create suspense and fear. Also can highlight
importance of characters or objects within a frame.
 Setting and props
Setting has a vital role in any film. It can manipulate the audience by building
expectation and then going against it. Sets are either built or found after lots of
research.
 Positioning of characters/objects within the frame
Positions can draw the audiences attention to an object or person. Film makers can
use it to indicate relationships between people.
