mise-en-scene

This is a French term meaning 'what is put into the scene or frame'. The elements of mise-en-scene are:

Settings and Props
The settings is the place where the scene happens and props is what the audience would see on the set, some examples of this would be a bike in a car park. In this picture the cars are the props in the car park.

Costume, Hair and Make-Up
This will tell us what is happening like for example if someone is in western clothes it shows us that it is  set in old western times. villains usually wear black or dark clothes.

Lighting and Colour
There are a lot of different ways you can use light, you can give suspense by putting a lot of shadow on their faces.

Positioning of Characters and Objects in the Frame

The positioning of the characters shows the importance of the character, when you have the camera up high it will make them look small which makes them look weak, but if you have the camera up high it will make them look big it makes them look powerful.

Facial Expressions and Body Language
These are important because it shows us what they feel about the situation or another character within the film.
