Understanding Mise-en-scene
The document discusses the concept of mise-en-scène in film analysis. Mise-en-scène refers to everything within the frame of a shot, including settings, costumes, lighting, positioning of characters, and more. There are five key elements of mise-en-scène: settings and props, costumes/hair/makeup, facial expressions and body language, lighting and color, and positioning of characters/objects. Each element conveys meaning and is used together to tell the story, set the atmosphere, and provide information to the audience.
