Title: Mis-en-scene?!?
Post by: adrihepburn on November 12, 2013, 04:05:07 pm
Does mis-en-scene include sound? my teacher has told me over and over again that it is only what you can see, but in the assessors report, it is also included.. what have your teachers told you???

Mise en scène also appeared to be a less well-understood element. It is generally accepted that mise en scène refers to the combination of a number of elements ‘in the frame’ or, more specifically, the combination of the setting, costumes and make-up, lighting and staging, and possibly even sound and camera.

Hey! i just recently found a narrative booklet my teacher handed out in class, On the mise-en-scene section the subheadings include

Props
Colour
Costume design (to reveal personality, character qualities etc)
Locations and set design
Positioning of visual elements and the organization of movement in the frame

And where the actor is shot from (not sure about this one though? but its still a subheading)
- Full front (facing the camera)
- Quarter turn (invites high degree of intimacy)
- Profile - looking off frame left or right (caught up in own thoughts)
- three quarter turn (more anonymous, conveys unsocial or unfriendly feelings)
- back to camera (suggests a characters alienation from the world, it suggests a sense of concealment or mystery)

i hope this helps!

Mis-en-scene constitutes only the visual elements of any filmed shot! So everything that the viewer sees when you pause a film at a certain point. Which of course, does not include sound (:
