(9) Let's talk...Mise-en-scene

Hey today we're gonna learn about...MISE-EN-SCENE!!

But what is Mise-en-scene?

Simply put Mise-en-scene is literally "placing on stage" in French; all the elements that appear on camera and their arrangement. So everything from the makeup that goes into a scene to how the scene is setup.

Alrighty so let me get into each of the features for you to give you a better understanding of everything that Mise-en-scene encompasses.

Production design:

Production designers are the people responsible for the visual concepts of a film, such as television or theater production. They work closely with the director and producer while they design a style for the elements incorporated in a film.

Location:

The location of a film sets the mood and supports the action. For example, in a abandoned McDonalds the location would give you suspicion and a horror mood.

Studio:

A film studio is either a entertainment company or a motion picture company. These companies have their own privately studio facility that they use to make films. 

Set design:

Set design encompasses everything that the audience sees within a scene. The details put in the scene help build the location and add more context to the film. 

So, now you understand some of the basics of Mise-en-scene, we'll discuss the rest later, yes there is more, I know how excited you are so, I won't keep you waiting long!!
