The mise en scene is a French term meaning what is put into a scene. This may be the objects seen on the set such as: props, lighting, setting, and actors.
The mise en scene is extremely important as a way of communicating to the audience more about the setting (time and place) but also the characters.
Although many people are involved in the making of the mise en scene, the director is the one that oversees the final effect. It is the directors job to alter and position things carefully to allow for the cinematography to work in conjunction with the scene. The way it is structured is key as certain elements or the ways objects are placed in the scene could significantly affect the entire film.
Essentially the Mise en scene is everything the audience see's, such as:
- props and equipment (e.g. furniture)
- Actors
- Set design
- Lighting
- Sound (diagetic and non diagetic)
Considering the mise en scene in my final opening scene:
I will have to consider all aspects of mise en scene in my final opening sequence to give a sense of realism, making it more believable from the audience's perspective but also to reveal great level of detail. I must carefully think about use of colours, what props would be appropriate (if any) and most importantly what sort of music would be best. However, I am thunking of doing some sort of chase scene for my final clip so I will not have complete control over the mise en scene especially when filming in public places such as Norwich, for example. before actually filming I must check any equipment and props that will be used to convey the mise en scene, positioning them in a way that will adhere to the filming style and outcome of my work.
