mise-en-scene

What is it?
It is the arrangement of everything in a camera shot. It is very important as the viewers can pick out little things that appear in a shot and think about what it could symbolise, for example the colour red can infer a range of emotions from anger to love depending on the film genre. To send the right message for the film the mise-en-scene must be right the director is the one who looks over the mise-en-scene and they can tell whether the actors, props, lightening, décor, and the costumes are all correct and set the right tone for the film.



This image shows a man with a mask behind the girl, although they are blurred they are still there giving the illusion of danger, their strong stance infers fear and the element of danger for the girl. She is in focus draws in our attention to her but because of the different focus' we are also drawn to the masked person. There is a red carpet, because of the colour the audience infers a sense of danger and fear. The masked man is in black they give off no sense of innocence in fact they give the impression that they have something to hide.
