Mise en scène

French term meaning “placing on stage”
It's the arrangement of everything that appears in the framing of the film.
15 Key Points
1. Colour values
  1. Colour by itself can make objects/people stand out and can be used effectively.
2. Dominant
  1. This is what you see first in the frame.
  2. 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.
3. Lighting
  1. Lighting Types
    1. Three - Point Lighting
      1. The light comes from three different directions, making the subject with a sense of depth in the frame.
      2. This isn't as dramatic as other lighting techniques but is most common among narrative cinemas.
    2. High Key Lighting
      1. This lighting makes the scene really bright and soft but not many shadows.
      2. This lighting is mainly in musicals and comedies.
    3. Low Key Lighting
      1. There is really low levels of light which causes the scene to have large shadows.
      2. This creates a very dark and mysterious atmosphere from the obscuring light.
4. Shot & Camera Proxemics
  1. Extreme long shot
    1. Taking far away from the main objects.
  2. Long shot
    1. This shot shows the whole character and the background.
  3. Full shot
    1. Just shows the whole body of the character and as little as possible of the background.
  4. Medium shot
    1. Shows the character from knees or waist up.
  5. Close-up
    1. Only shows small objects or little of a character
  6. Extreme close-up
    1. Focuses on small aspects of objects, showing the detail.
5. Angles
  1. Bird's-eye view
    1. Photographed directly from above.
  2. High angle
    1. This reduces the size of the objects.
  3. Eye-level shot
    1. This is the clearest and most natural.
  4. Low angle
    1. This adds importance to the object.
  5. Oblique angle
    1. The camera is tilted laterally which makes the image slanted. This increases the tension.
6. Lens/Filter/Stock
  1. Telephoto lens
    1. The lens draws objects closer as well as diminishing the illusion of depth
  2. Wide-angle lens
    1. The lens takes in a broad area and increases the illusion of depth as well as sometimes distorting the edges of the image.
  3. Fast film stock
    1. This is highly sensitive to light but creates a grainy product.
  4. Slow film stock
    1. It isn't sensitive to light but creates a polished looked product.
7. Subsidiary Contrasts
  1. This is what you see after the dominant, as well as what is around the dominant.
8. Density
