Mise en scène
- It's everything to do with the actors and the setting. This includes the props, music, makeup and a lot
more.
- French term meaning “placing on stage”
- It's the arrangement of everything that appears in the framing of the film.
- 15 Key Points
- Colour values
- Colour by itself can make
objects/people stand out and can be
used effectively.
- Dominant
- This is what you see first in the frame.
- Ways to control this is: to look at the size of objects - your eyes will direct to
something bigger than smaller, focus the main objects, lighting - easier seen
objects stick out more, and colour can make things stick out more than others.
- Lighting
- Lighting Types
- Three - Point Lighting
- The light comes from three different directions,
making the subject with a sense of depth in the frame.
- This isn't as dramatic as other lighting techniques
but is most common among narrative cinemas.
- High Key Lighting
- This lighting makes the scene really
bright and soft but not many shadows.
- This lighting is mainly in musicals and comedies.
- Low Key Lighting
- There is really low levels of light which
causes the scene to have large shadows.
- This creates a very dark and mysterious
atmosphere from the obscuring light.
- Shot & Camera Proxemics
- Extreme long shot
- Taking far away from the main objects.
- Long shot
- This shot shows the whole
character and the background.
- Full shot
- Just shows the whole body of the character
and as little as possible of the background.
- Medium shot
- Shows the character from knees or waist up.
- Close-up
- Only shows small objects or little of a character
- Extreme close-up
- Focuses on small aspects of objects, showing the detail.
- Angles
- Bird's-eye view
- Photographed directly from above.
- High angle
- This reduces the size of the objects.
- Eye-level shot
- This is the clearest and most natural.
- Low angle
- This adds importance to the object.
- Oblique angle
- The camera is tilted laterally which makes the
image slanted. This increases the tension.
- Lens/Filter/Stock
- Telephoto lens
- The lens draws objects closer as well
as diminishing the illusion of depth
- Wide-angle lens
- The lens takes in a broad area and increases the illusion of
depth as well as sometimes distorting the edges of the image.
- Fast film stock
- This is highly sensitive to light
but creates a grainy product.
- Slow film stock
- It isn't sensitive to light but creates a
polished looked product.
- Subsidiary Contrasts
- This is what you see after the dominant,
as well as what is around the dominant.
- Density
- This is the visual information
that is packed into the image.
- The detail in the frame is what makes it dense.
- Composition
- Horizontal
- Suggests placidity or peacefulness.
- Vertical
- Suggests strength.
- Diagonal
- Suggests tension or anxiety.
- Binary
- Emphasises the dynamic interplay.
- Triangle
- Emphasises parallelism.
- Circle
- Suggests security and enclosure.
- Form
- This is chosen by how consciously
structured the mise en scene is.
- Open Form
- What is in frame around
an ongoing reality.
- Deemphasised.
- Closed Form
- Only what is in the frame.
- Carefully structured within the frame.
- Framing
- Loose Framing
- Whereas long shots provides characters the chance to move without boundraries.
- Tight Framing
- Close up shots make characters
unable to move freely.
- Depth
- Deep Focus
- When all/most of the photograph/frame is in focus.
- The part of the photograph that is in focus.
- Shallow Focus
- Only part of the photograph/frame is in focus.
- Character Placement
- Where abouts the character stands.
- Top
- Suggests power, authority, and aspiration.
- Bottom
- Suggests subservience, vulnerability, and powerlessness.
- Left/Right
- Suggests nsignificance
- Staging Positions
- Full-front
- Seems inviting to the complicity.
- Quarter Turn
- Highly intimacy but less emotionally involved.
- Profile
- Makes it seem like the character is unaware of the
filming making it seem as theyre concentrating..
- Three-quarter Turn
- Makes the character
seem unfriendly
- Back to Camera
- This creates a sense of mysteries like the
character is hiding against the world.
- Character Proxemics
- Intimate distances
- It's from skin contact to
about eighteen inches away.
- Created the feeling of love, comfort,
and tenderness between individuals.
- Personal distances
- It's from about eighteen inches away to four feet away.
- This is used for more for friends
- Public distances
- It's from about twelve feet
to twenty-five feet or more.
- This is very formal.
- Social distances
- It's from about four feet to about twelve feet.
- Used for casual gatherings, but quite formal.
