2. Realism and Mise – en – scene
Mise-en-scene is often judge by standards of realism.
If we insist to judge filmmaking rigidly on realism thus this limits the possible height of the imagination as far as Mise-en-scene in concern.
It is better than to examine the function of Mise- en- scene rather than to judge mise- en scene on our conception of realism.

3. Aspects of Mise – en – scene
Settings
Filmmaker uses an existing locale to stage the action.
Filmmaker chooses to construct settings
Filmmaker emphasizes on authenticity
Filmmaker is less committed to historical accuracy
Design of a setting can significantly shape how audience understand the story and action
Full size Settings need not always be built; parts of the settings can just simply be paintings and combined photographically with full size section of the space.
Digital special effects are also used to fill portions of the scene.
Props are also a factor of mise-en-scene. This is where the object in the setting has a function within the ongoing action.
Filmmaker may also use colour to create parallels among elements of settings.

4. What aspect of control does Mise-en- scene has to offer in filmmaking?
The filmmaker stages the event for the camera
Cinema-verite’ is where filmmakers capture events without controlling them
Animated and abstract films control mise-en scene, which are mostly impossible with performers shot in real time.
Mise-en-scene involves planning but filmmakers may be open to unplanned events as well

5. Costume and make up
Costume more often than not has a specific function in the total film.
Costume may also be quite stylized, calling attention to their purely graphic qualities
Costumes also play and important motivic and causal roles in narratives.
Costumes is often coordinated with settings
Originally during black and white film, make up is usually necessary because without makeup actors faces could not register clearly on early film stock.
Makeup can aim at complete realism. Now, rubbers and plasticene compounds are use to create bumps, bulges, extra organs and layers of artificial skin.

6. A brightly illuminated patch may draw our eyes to a key gesture.
Lighting
In cinema, lighting is more than just illumination. Lighting permits us to see actions.
A brightly illuminated patch may draw our eyes to a key gesture.
While a shadow may conceal a detail or a soft curve of a face, a rough grain of a piece of wood.
Lighting shapes objects creating highlights and shadows.
