Learning Objective: To understand and explore the term ‘mise-en-scene’.

Definition: Mise En Scene A French term meaning what is put into a scene or frame Visual information in front of the camera Communicates essential information to the audience Made up of 5 elements: Can you guess what they are?

The 5 Elements of Mise en Scene Settings & Props Costume, Hair & Make Up Facial Expressions & Body Language Lighting & Colour Positioning of characters/objects within the frame Each aspect of mise-en- scene has hidden meanings within a film and sends signals to the audience about how we are supposed to feel at a certain point

1. Settings & Props Settings & Locations play an important part in film-making and are not just ‘backgrounds’ Sets are either built from scratch or a great deal of time is spent to find a setting which already exists Settings can manipulate an audience by building certain expectations and then taking a different turn What settings and props you would find in: 1.A Science Fiction Film 2.A Romantic Comedy 3.A Horror Film

2. Costume, Hair & Make Up Costume, Hair & Make Up act as an instant indicator to us of a character’s personality, status & job It tells us immediately whether the film is set in the present and what society/or culture it will centre around Certain costumes can signify certain individuals (i.e. black cloak of a vampire, Spidey’s Spiderman suit)

3. Facial Expressions & Body Language Facial Expressions provide a clear indicator of how someone is feeling If someone is smiling broadly, we assume they are happy but we may get a different feeling if this is accompanied by scary music Body Language may also indicate how a character feels towards another character or may reflect the state of their relationship TASK: What meanings/emotions do the following images convey:

4. Positioning of Characters & Objects within a frame Positioning within a frame can draw our attention to an important character/object A film-maker can use positioning to indicate relationships between people What does the positioning in the following images reveal about the characters/film:

5. Lighting & Colour Lighting & Colour can be used to achieve a variety of effects: To highlight important characters or objects within the frame To make characters look mysterious by shading sections of the face & body To reflect a characters mental state/hidden emotions (i.e. bright = happy, dark = disturbed, strobe effect = confused

Types of Lighting LOW KEY LIGHTING: Created by using only the key & back lights Produces sharp contrasts of light and dark areas Deep, distinct shadows/silhouettes are formed Example: Horror Films

Types of Lighting HIGH KEY LIGHTING: More filler lights are used. Lighting is natural and realistic to our eyes Produces brightly lit sets or a sunny day (right) Example: Rom-Coms

Look at the next screen shot: an establishing shot. What does the mise-en-scene tell you about the location? Think about: Lighting Location Colour Props

Lots of blue colour: Connotations of sea, calm, cool Props: all adding to the nautical/sea theme of the film The sea: Caribbean location, pirates Lighting: natural and bright, so tranquil and happy mood in the scene
