Mise en scene

Mise en scene is basically everything that is in the frame. What we see in what we are looking at. there are 5 different parts of the Mise en scene, and these are:

Setting and Props: These are what we see in each scene. What genre you see will depends on what props and settings you will see in the frame. For example if you was watching a horror film, you are most likely to see knives, axes, zombies etc. It is also likely to be set in a forest or haunted house.
Costume, hair and make-up: This is what the people look like within their character, also what they would be wearing. These all imply what the characters are like.
Body language and facial expressions: Facial expressions are a way of us telling what a person is thinking or how they are feeling at that point in time. And this is the same for body language. It shows how a person feels and also how two people feel about each other. If someones body language is shifty, this could mean that they have done something wrong. Can show the relationship between different people.
Lighting and colour: Lighting can be a way of showing us the main character and who the scene is focusing on. If the light is focused on one person it can show us the mood of the whole scene and how people are feeling towards one another. It can also highlight the importance of characters. The ones highlighted would be the ones that are most important at the time or even thoughout the film to show the personality of a character. If the light is always away from one person it could indicate that they are shy. Colour can show the different connotations of the story. If there is blue throughout, it could show coldness. this can also give a particular mood.
Positioning of characters/objects within the frame: The way in which characters are positions within the frame can help us indicate the importance of characters. It can be a way of helping us to understand the relationships between characters.
