Scenic design (also known as scenography, stage design, set design or production design) is the
creation of theatrical, as well as film or television scenery.
Location: a particular place or position.
Props: an object used by the actors performing in a play or film: The set is minimal and the only
props used in the show are a table, a chair and a glass of water.
Lighting: equipment in a room, building, or street for producing light. Lighting can help set a mood/atmosphere.
Character: the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual.
Costume: a set of clothes in a style typical
of a particular country or historical
period.
Make-Up: cosmetics such as lipstick or powder applied to
the face, used to enhance or alter the appearance.
Costume/Hair/Make-up All helps to create the character,
make point, and make the scene more realistic.
Mise en Scene = French for what is in the scene.
Each aspect of Mise en scene creates meaning and communicates them to
the audience influencing how we feel at cirtain point!
Cast, Crew, Equipment and Props lists
The format of this information varies from group to group. I would suggest a table that describes the
above per scene. I'll leave you to decide how to present it but try not to create too much work by
repeating information. It is also important to highlight who is responsible for collecting, bring what
especially when it comes to costumes and props. Note: I would also consider keeping costumes and
vital props at school after you've started shooting, especially if you are shooting over a couple of
days. This is to stop continuity errors between scenes/shots. I will make you re-shoot if there are big
errors like this and I've lost count of the number of times that students' shooting schedules have
been recked by people forgetting costumes and vital props.
