Write a brief commentary( 2-3 paragraphs) describing the concept of Mise-en-Scene. You may indicate the components of Mise-en Scene and provide examples of them from the film clips seen in class. Also, you may describe the different alternatives or choices that the film director has in relation to "staging the action."
Mise-en-Scene is the concept of designing the stage or in movies the filmmakers have a choice of making the scene consist of displaying the characters, props,costumes and the different lighting or "telling the story"/narration.
ReplyDeleteAn example would be the types of clothes the characters wore at the beginning of Close Encounters of The Third Kind when they were in the desert during the desert storm. everyone was in a hurry trying to figure out why the missing plane suddenly showed up and testing whether or not it still worked. Some had toilet or cloths over their mouths to help them breathe with hoods over their heads. They also set up tents over their equipment which could serve as both props and costumes. The filmmakers wanted to emphasize the extreme situation they were in.
Another example could be the scene from New Jack City. There were different close up shots of the character's shoes and facial expressions. Not only that, but of street signs and roads to emphasize the type of lifestyle the Antagonists grew up on. The bag of money was the prop and conflict of the entire scene we saw in class.
Mis-en-scene simply means to put in to scene it For film, it has a broader meaning, and refers to almost everything that goes into the composition of the shot, including the composition itself: framing, movement of the camera and characters, lighting, set design and gen eral visual environment, even sound as it helps elaborate the composition. Mise-en-scène can be defined as the articulation of cinematic space, and it is precisely space that it is about. Cutting is about time; the shot is about what occurs in a defined area of space, bordered by the frame of the movie screen and determined by what the camera has been made to record.
ReplyDeleteAn example whould be in BAPS In the begging of the movie they are in a urban community (ghetto)
then they fly to hollywood and the scenery changes to pratray to glamour life with big lights bright lights while in the urban community the lights are more dim.
Another example is in players club she is a college student by day and astripper by night. During the day she dress how the director thought college students dressed and and night she wore provacative clothing
Mise-en-Scene in film means to "put on stage", "put into the scene", or "staging an action" and referred to the design and direction of the entire production. The elements of mise-en-scene are setting, lighting, costume, and behavior of figure.Settings play an important role in film more than theater.
ReplyDeleteSettings, such as props, play an important role in film also. In such movies like "Marnie", by Alfred Hitchcock, that we've seen in class used the yellow bag as a prop that played a significant part in the movie. The yellow bad stuck out among the rest of the setting seeing that it was a warm color versus the set, which was cool colors, showing how important the bag was and how the color was significant. The bag's relevance was that it had the money in it that the female had stolen. Later on in the movie the same woman that had the bag got rid of the yellow bag and was no longer a dark hair woman and was now blond. Then at one point the woman spilled some red ink which reminded her of some bad times in her life.
Or like in the film "Raging Bull" the director made the film in black and white to show how dramatic and the feeling into the movie. It was shot in black and white so that the audience would focus more on the character and their role than the actual scene or setting.
Mise-en-Scene in film means to "put into scene", or bringing together the setting, lighting, costume and behavior of characters to create one production. In creating Mise-en-Scene, all these components make a difference. The props, setting, lighting, camera movements and angles, and colors that may be in the film all make a difference andcreate Mise-en-Scene.
ReplyDeleteAn example of the setting component would be a prop used in a movie. Sometimes props may become motifs, which is a element that repeats itself in the film and has a important meaning. An example of a motif in a film is the shower curtain that we saw in the movie Psycho. It is a prop that became a motif because it ended up being seen more than once and had a special meaning the the narrative.
When dealing with "staging the action" the director must deal with making sure the screen space, the scene space and the depth cues are on track. He must make choices dealing with these components of staging the action.
Mise-en-Scene means putting into scene. This has four spects which icludes the setting, lighting, costume, and behavior of figures. The notions of realism may vary across cultures over time and even among individuals.
ReplyDeleteAn exampls for one of the aspects is a prop that can become a motif for a film. This motif has a significance in the film which may continue to show up through out the film. The movie "Marnie" shows the purpose of the certain items being yellow and even the reaction of the color red when the ink spilled on her blouse.
When making a film, the director will make the choice of the film being in either black and white or in color. This all depends on how dramatic the director wants for it to be.

Putting the action into scene is better known as Mise-en-scene. Four important parts of Mise-en-scene include setting, props, costume, as well as lighting. All of these will definitely enhance or hinder your final production.
ReplyDeleteFor example in the film "Raising Arizona" the diapers were a major part of how the drama began. How he went from being a regular man to a robber, back to a regular man, all to get his child some diapers. Diapers being the prop, the stocking on his head to costume him as a robber, as well as the lighting to make you feel the setting.
Color has a lot to do with how the producer wants the film to be perceived. Black and white could be known as dramatic, old times, or for you to be focused on the characters. "Raging Bull" is a particular film that was shot in black and white because the producer wanted people to focus on the characters instead of the setting.
Mise-en-Scene in film means to put on stage, put into the scene, or staging an action. Mise-en-Scence emphasize on the shot and the cut, with the editing of putting two shots together it affects not only how a film's narrative is structured but also how the shots are understood by the viewers. Color schemes, camera angles, and music are more key elements of mise-en-scence especially music because music makes it more visual with the scene which can capture the audience’s attention.
ReplyDeleteI forgot the name of the film we watched on last Wednesday but it was black and white with two little white kids riding on a boat to a barn. In that scence the music and the black and white setting gave me a idea that it is an older film. Another scence from the same film when they got whoop as soon as they got out the boat for coming home late even though the film was black and white the director still showed how it turned from one day to the next day.
Last week in our criticism of film class we discussed mise-en-scene, which is simply defined as putting in to scene. The term originally came from the French and was referring to theatre. When referring to film it is a little more complex. Mise-en-scene In film means everything and anything that helps compose the shot. It refers to the angles you may shoot, the clothes the actor may be wearing and even the set. Mise-en-scene gives the audience a sense of realism or a certain feeling by catering to their sense of sight and hearing.
ReplyDeleteOne of the films we observed was a black and white film starring a woman who appeared to be some sort of "DIVA" . In the film the spot light was only on her the shadows and music were all there going us imagery of how glamourous the woman was suppose to be. Another film we watched featured a band performing a song. The video was filled with jump shots bright colors and loud sound effects giving the audience a feeling as if they were at a concert or party.
In film production, it is important for all of the elements to cohesively work together in order to strength the intensity of the film. This technique is the Mise en scene, meaning to “put in the scene.” The operandi of the director is not to simply tell a story or plot, but to tap into the subconscious of the audience in order to: entertain, provoke, challenge or inform. This is done because of the way the story is put into scene. Have you ever wondered why the director used particular lighting in a certain scene? Or why certain colors or props are used repeatedly? These are all elements of the Mise en scene (putting the plot of the film into a scene). The elements of the Mise en scene include lighting, set, props, action, costume, and performance. Without these elements the vision of the director, producer, screen/ script writer, and editor will not be created. Therefore, it is important to make sure the elements are placed accordingly to each scene. For example, Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho” relies heavily on lighting and symbolism to add depth and suspense to the plot and the action of the film. Although the film is shot in black and white, Hitchcock relies on shadows, like the shadow of the knife in the infamous shower scene to build suspense and this was accomplished through the mise en scene of high and low key lighting. When a film has all the elements properly placed in a scene this captures the audience and makes for great film.

DeleteMise-en-Scene is a French term used in directing plays, meaning “Putting into the scene”. This word indicates the different aspects taking place behind the scenes that the director puts into the film; these aspects include: lighting, setting, costumes, and makeup. One concept of Mise-en-scene is Realism; realism is significant not only to the director but to the audience. By resembling reality, the director can furthermore connect with his or her audiences. Mise-en-scene is the stage where the director is creating the platform for the film.
ReplyDeleteSetting, lighting, costume and makeup are the four different components in Mise-en-scene. The most important component is setting, which is the location of which the film is taking place: the director basis the setting for us as viewers to interpret the story’s plot better. The second element is lighting, which illuminates the images being filmed. Lighter shot frames tend to draw the audience’s attention to certain objects, while darker shot frames tend to create a general composition. In a film directed by Hitchcock called “The night of the hunter”, it was filmed in black and white. Darker shots of the film were shot to represent night time, and at the times the shadows were casted by buildings. Textures are also expressed through a form of lighting called highlights. Lastly, is costume and makeup, which brings the characters to life. For example in different thrillers, characters undergo costumes or excessive makeup to help make that scary character realistic.
Mise-en-scene is French which means putting into scene. It consists of four parts setting, lighting, costume, and behavior of figures. The focus of mise-en-scene is to get the most out of a film. Use lighting to get the best composition of each shot. Costumes play a role in film cause they add to the character’s role making the characters and the shots seem more provocative.
ReplyDeleteWe watched a clip from the movie “Marnie” by Alfred Hitchcock. In the clip, the focus was on the costume. Because the lady in yellow stood out while everyone else were in dark colors the lady in yellow stood out. Also we watched a clip from “Raging Bull” by Martin Scorsese and the whole film was filmed in black and white because Scorsese felt that the black and white brought out more emotion from the character.
Mise-en-Scene in film means to "put on stage", "put into the scene", or "staging an action" and referred to the design and direction of the entire production. The elements of mise-en-scene are setting, lighting, costume, and behavior of figure.Settings play an important role in film more than theater.
ReplyDeleteAn example of the setting component would be a prop used in a movie. Sometimes props may become motifs, which is a element that repeats itself in the film and has a important meaning. An example of a motif in a film is the shower curtain that we saw in the movie Psycho. It is a prop that became a motif because it ended up being seen more than once and had a special meaning the the narrative.
Mise-en-Scene is a term derived the French language meaning, "Putting into the scene." The elements of mise-en-scene compose of many different aspects such as; setting, lighting, costume, and the behavior of the figures. So in order to create the perfect mise-en-scene effect, it will require a vast amount of planning.
ReplyDeleteSome movies that great examples of mise-en-scene are Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock. The shower curtain that he used became important factor of the scene, instead of just an ordinary item in the bathroom. Also another movie by Hitchcock (I forgot the name of it) used the color "yellow" as motif. It used a grey setting to make the woman's purse "pop" out of the scene. Not only was her purse yellow, but her natural hair color blonde (yellow). It became a reoccurring theme throughout the move clip that we viewed in class.
Mise-en-Scene is a French term which stands for putting into the scene. this term was first applied to the practice of directing plays. Years ago, film directors used the aspect of mise-en-scene to signify the directors control over what appears in the film frame. Aspects such as lightinh, setting, costume, and behavior are just a few that describes mise-en-scene.
ReplyDeleteIn the movie "Dreams" when the little boy sees the little girl but is really an orchid. the orchid signified a very important aspect in the dream.
The term mise-en-scene is defined as the arrangement of actors and scenery on a stage for a theatrical production. This means that actors, whether it's people or objects, and the scenery itself has some sort of symbolic meaning and/or purpose. We've seen in class examples of color standing out of a black and white production, camera angles following important subjects, and even shapes/silhouettes of characters. Believe it or not, mise-en-scene has even been made use of since film's earliest age.
ReplyDeleteFor example, the 1903 silent film "the Great Train Robbery" makes use of costume to signify good and evil. The robbers on the train wore black, while the people opposing them were wearing white. This is just a simple example of how mise-en-scene has affected how we give new meanings to how film is viewed.
Film Theorists David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson defined Mise en scene as: "All of the elements placed in front of the camera to be photographed: the settings and props, lighting, costumes and make-up, and figure behavior." Mise en scene is a French derived word meaning "placing on a stage" or "putting in a scene" Some key components of Mise en scen are: Set design, Acting, Costume, Makeup and hairstyles, etc. Anything associated with a scene is considered Mise en scene.
ReplyDeleteFor example, In the film "Marnie" Alfred Hitchcock uses a yellow purse to stand out due to the fact that the purse had a very significant meaning in the movie. All of the action centered around the yellow purse.
Mise-en scene is the french term for "placing on stage". Basically it means the arrangement of everything appearing in the frame consisting of the actors, lighting, props, camera movement, costume, and décor. The collaboration of the director, artistic director, set designer, prop master, make up artist, etc are all influencial in "setting the scene", the overall look and feel of the film.
ReplyDeleteIn the film my classmate Tavaris analyzed "For Colored Girls", color was a huge influence in the play and movie. Each woman was represented by a color- Lady in red = Janet Jackson, Lady in blue = Kerry Washington, etc. This element had to be in the mind/job of everybody from the set designer to the make up artist. An example of this would be the scene where the lady in red was in her all black and white office and the accents of red were in her lipstick, portfolio, pen, and coffee mug.
Another example we viewed in class is from the Hitchcock movie "Marnie". The color yellow was a prominent theme because the blond (yellow haired) woman with the yellow bag stole all the money.
1. Putting on stage is the simple way of explaining Mise-en-scene; basically staging the scene by using different components such as the setting, lighting, costumes and characters. Mise-en-scene is all about capturing the moment of the scene and making it realistic, making you become involved and intrigued in the scene. The director’s guidance, the character’s ability to make a scene believable, the props or effects in the scene to make you feel as if you are where you need to be.
ReplyDeleteAn example would be the old time favorite movie Clueless. The difference between upper class Los Angeles and the Valley where the latter’s community seemed dirty and dangerous based on the setting the party house’s yard covered in different props. Christmas lights still up in the spring and of course the robbery of the main character’s purse, but compared to the upper class Los Angeles there was no mess in the yards. Everything was clean and well kept. There was no danger and a community that was well taken care of.
You get an idea of Mise-en-scene and how simple props and the placement of props and characters, their wardrobe, and the behavior how to places so close together in California were so different.
Mise-en-scene simply means to put in scene. Mise-en-scene has four components: setting, lighting, costumes, and characters. Mise-en-scene is all about taking all of those components and bringing a story to life. Producers usually scout out different places for different settings in the movie. The surrounding environment in a movie is what makes you believe a movie. Lighting not only illuminates a subject but it also elicits an emotional response. High key lighting is usually associated with the "good guys" and we feel safe with high key lighting.
ReplyDeleteCostumes not only help actors get into character, they help the audience connect emotionally. For example, in George Lucas' American Graffiti, the characters drove 1940s cars and wore clothes from that time period. However, the movie was shot in the 1970s. The cars and the clothes the characters wore made the audience feel as though they were transported back to the 1940s.
Lastly the characters pull everything together. Most actors play roles that are completely different from how they are in real life. A great actor can make the difference between the a bad, good, or great movie.
As this has explained before, Mise-en-Scene means "putting into scene." By saying that, that means that Mise-en-Scene includes those aspects of film that overlap with the art of the theater, which are setting, lighting, costume, and the behavior of the figures. It also involves planning, but also include unplanned events as well. All of these components will help create an interesting film. The major components involved with Mise-en-Scene (lighting, setting, costume), plays an important role in making a film. Lighting can manipulate the image being shot, and costume can be stylized to call attention to their graphic qualities. Setting is major to stage the action and or the setting can also be constructed.
ReplyDeleteAn example of Mise-en-Scene can be the Nancy Sinatra music video of "These Boots are Made for Walking." In the video, the setting was staged as a solid color in the background with bold colors such as yellow, red, purple, and other solid color costumes, while Nancy Sinatra was dressed in black, to set herself a part from her back-up dancers. Stairs and blocks were also put into the scene to show Nancy Sinatra walking down the steps with her boots, which the song is partially about. The bright colors in the scene which the dancers were dressed up in helped draw the viewers toward the star of the video, Nancy Sinatra. Set lighting was used for the video, as well as hard lighting, that define the crisp edges of the blocks and stairs and also the crisp textures.
When a film director handles "staging the action," the director has to make sure shots are detailed with the depth of the scene, and make sure there is enough screen space for the shot.
The phrase Mise-en-scene means putting into scene or put before the camera. It also includes the components of setting, lighting, and behavior of figures. As stated in the comment above mine Nancy Sinatra had a huge example of misc-en-scene in the "These boots are made for walking" video.
ReplyDeleteEach background dancer as well as Nancy Sinatra had on boots. Nancy Sinatra set herself apart by wearing different colors/ darker colors that her background dancers to set herself apart.
Mis-en-scene means putting into in to scene. The three components are lighting, setting, and behavior of the figures. An example is Nancy Sinatra music video "Boots Are Made for Walking" where she and her dancers wear boots but she wear all black and her dancers wear a different assortment of colors.
ReplyDeleteAnother current example is when artists such as Chris Brown and Rhianna make music videos with back up dancers as well. In their videos they make sure they are set apart from their dancers but still in sync with each other.
Mis-En-Scene is how the scene is assembled. It is about the way the background, foreground and middle ground provide an ambiance for the scene that is being shot. When putting together a scene you have to consider what is being conveyed by the actors, and what the surroundings will provide to convey the same concept.

In the link provided above, is a scene from The Devil Wears Prada. In the scene the actors are discussing fashion. The rooms that are visible in the scene are filled with racks of clothes, framed art and sharp white walls that allow the colors of the vibrant clothing to stand out. The scene also allows the personality of Meryl Streep’s character to come through in the office setting. She is hard and to the point, and the walls and office are decorated in a minimalistic manner expressing her tough and bare personality in the shot. The scene and the way it is established helps to express the point that Meryl Streep is trying to convey in the shot and creating mis-en-scene.
Mise-en-scene means to " to put into the scene". It refers to the staging of the props and the look and design if a scene. Props, camera angles, framing , movement and colors all do their individual part if helping telling the story. All of these things goes into the composition if a shot and helps define the vision if the director.
ReplyDeleteProps such as the yellow bag in Marnie gives you a prime example of selective color used to target the audiences attention to the bag. She stole money from her employers and kept the money in that yellow bag. So by highlighting the bag it shoes its value and importance. Another example from that movie when the woman spills red on her white blouse, the color red manes the scene dramatic and plays a big role in painting a picture for the audience.
Mise en scene means to put in camera and to scene. However you decide to stage you set or background you can do it for your cast. The background sets the tone for the movie.It also helps paint an image in the audiences head.
ReplyDeleteWhen applied to the cinema, miss en scene refers to everything that appears before the camera and its arrangement;composition, sets, props, actors, costumes, sounds, and lighting.The mise en scene, along with the cinematography and editing of a film, influence the verisimilitude of a film in the eyes of its viewers.The various elements of design help express a film’s vision by generating a sense of time and space, as well as setting a mood, and sometimes suggesting a character’s state of mind.
ReplyDeleteMise-en-scène is the arrangement of everything that appears in the framing such as actors, lighting, décor, props, and costumes.Mise-en-scèn is a french term that means “placing on stage.” The frame and camerawork also constitute the mise-en-scène of a movie or film.
ReplyDeleteMise-en-scène, a french term that means "putting into the scene" or "staging the action" involves different elements to creating a pice of film. These elements include; setting, lighting, costumes, behavior of figures (actors). Each has their own characteristic which makes them just as important as the other. Setting presents the picture of the film, lighting sets the mood, and the actors tell the story.
ReplyDeleteIn class we watched a brief clip about two children who seemed to be running from something. The overall setting of the film seemed to take place in a small country town near a stream that ran a long each house. The boy and girl in the story travel by boat, and walk everywhere else, but what I want to focus on right now for this example is the detail of motion and lighting. I say motion because the cinematography transitions between shots by letting the actors go from stage right to stage left repetitiously until the actors reach their destination. This gives the audience a sense of travel.
Lighting is mentioned also because it gives us a sense of what the time of day is. It shapes objects by creating highlights and shadows. Highlights provide important cures to the texture of the surface. Shadows are casted or are created when light fails to illuminate part of an object. As the scene transitions from daytime to night time and the children go to sleep, the photographer dims the light.
Mise-en-Scene means to put into scene or attention. When directors are trying to convey a memessage or idea he can use different techniques to do so. The props, actors ,lighting, and angles are put together to compose the directors vision and make up Mise En Scene.
ReplyDeleteIn Babel the signifier was the color yellow, which showed consistently through out the film. It wasn't on accident that the color kept reoccurring. This was a way to use Mise En Scene and use yellow as a symbol and have a particular meaning.
Mise en Scene refers to the attributes of a particular film, the setting, the actors, costumes, props, etc. Its the details that are characterized throughout a film, everything from how a prop is arranged, to the specific colors of a set, to the look of the actor is Mise en Scene.
ReplyDeleteCostume is probably the most notable aspect of Mise en Scene for example the iconic little black dress scene that Audrey Hepburn wore in Blake Edward's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (1961).
Lighting is another key aspect of Mise en Scene for example 3-point lighting was used a lot in the film we watched in class "Babel". "Babel" applied the three-point lighting technique to illuminate scenes. It created a since of depth in the film, which supported all the drama happening within th film.
Mise en scene is the arrangement of everything that appears in the film from the actors, lighting, props, decor, etc. Even though many professionals are involved in its creation, the director is the one that oversees the entire mise-en-scène and all of its elements. The process of determining who is over the effects of what appear in the film is usually done during the preproduction phase of the film.
ReplyDeleteIn some instances, the mise-en- scène is used to evoke lasting feelings throughout the movie and not just for selected scenes.All of the aspects are important but unarguably one of the film elements that has the greatest power to evoke emotions, lighting must be manipulated by the director to accommodate his or her desires for the movie. The two broad types of lighting approaches are: low-key lighting and high-key lighting.
In the movie Babel that we are currently watching in class, one example of Mise en Scene is the opening scene of Susan and Richard Jones at a Moroccan Restaurant. The tension/emotion was very strong in this scene.
Mise-En-Scene means "putting into scene". This process is simply setting the stage, mood, tone, and feel of whatever a director is trying to portray in his/her film. There are four aspects of Mise-En-Scene: setting, lighting, costume, and behavior of figures. Within a certain setting, you will have props or different objects that have a function within the ongoing action. Props can become motifs. Costume and make-up can also have specific functions in film whether it is to enhance the appearance of a certain actor on screen or to change actors into a historical character. LIGHTING IS EVERYTHING. It is the most important element in cinema because it helps create the overall composition and it guides the attention of the audience.
ReplyDeleteWe are currently reviewing the film Babel. In the scene when the American tourist gets shot, I believe that the director wanted the audience's full attention. He draws our attention by shooting extreme close-ups of the woman and her companion as they ride the bus. As a viewer, I could feel the suspense and I knew that something was coming. I expected something to happen simply because of the director's sense of mise-en-scene.
Mise-En-Scene is everything before the camera from the costumes, actors, lighting, composition,setting, etc. It gives the film its life. With lighting you can set a mood or tone. It can play a big role on the actors mood, for example if you use colors you can set the characters a mood.
ReplyDeleteThe costumes can also narrate, they can let you know about the character. The way a person dress can say a lot. The organization of objects, actors and space within the frame. One of the most important concepts with the regard to the composition of a film is maintaining a balance of symmetry. This refers to having an equal distribution of light, color, and objects and/or figures in a shot. Unbalanced composition can be used to emphasize certain elements of a film that the director wishes to be given particular attention to. This tool works because audiences are more inclined to pay attention to something off balance, as it may seem abnormal.
Mise-En-Scene is the French phrase for "putting into scene". It consist of 4 aspects:Setting, lighting, costume, and behavior of figures. The setting Plays a more important role in film than theatre. In the setting lies a prop. A prop is when an object has a function within the ongoing action. Costume can have specific functions in the total film.Make up can enhance the appearance of the actors on the screen.In cinema, lighting is more important than just illumination. Lighter and darker areas within the frame help to create overall composition and thus guide our attention to certain objects and actions.
ReplyDeleteAn example of a prop is the rifle in the movie Babel. The rifle plays an important role in the movie. A Japanese hunter sells a rifle to a man in Morocco. The Moroccan man's youngest son was playing target practice with the gun and shot at a tour bus which caused the death of an American.
Mise-en-Scene means to basically creating a scene." From the Actors themselves to their costumes, make up, and more. Mise-en-Scene includes those characteristics of film that corresponds with the art of the theater, which are lighting, setting, costume, make up and the behavior of the actor. All of these components will help create a stimulating film. The major components involved with Mise-en-Scene (lighting, setting, costume), plays an important role in making a film. Lighting can manipulate the image being shot, and costume can be stylized to call attention to their graphic qualities. Setting is major to stage the action and or the setting can also be constructed. In class examples we learn how color standing out of a black and white production, camera angles following important subjects, and even shapes/silhouettes of characters. Mise-en-scene has even been made use of since film's earliest age.
ReplyDeleteFor example in the movie Babel, They made it known that the Americans are somewhat stuck up by showing the wife refusal to eat i the African restaurant and start to use sanitized napkins to clean the silverware. After being shot, the wife showed that she was in so much pain and cared less about being a germ phobic by urinating in a pan while kissing her husband.
Mise-en-scene means "putting into scene." The things that need to be observed closely when filming are setting, costume and makeup, lighting, and behavior of the figures. Without these, a film will not be complete. Mise-en-scene plays a major role because it indicates what meanings and messages that the audience will receive.
ReplyDeleteIt is very important to know how a film is activated to others. In the movie Motorcycle Diaries, mise-en-scene was very significant. This film was based in 1952 causing the director make sure the setting look exactly like that time period. If there is one mistake it will make a viewer stop watching. This is considered as realism. If a car that was made in 1970 is seen in a movie that is based during the 50s viewers will notice it and maybe not watch the film again.
Costumes must match the setting and time period of a movie. If a actor is a thug he must fit that look or the audience will respond badly. Lighting provides us with a sense of the time of day it is. If there is dark lighting more than likely it's night time. Mise-en-scene is used by directors to portray their ideas. I noticed in the movie Shottas that I'm analyzing shows a dark room with a candle light indicating that it is night time. These things are very important.
Amber Maddox: "Putting into scene" is the french definition for Misc-en-scene. With the Misc-en-scene comes 4 important aspects. Lighting, Costume & Makeup, Behavior of the Figures, and Setting. Without these aspects there could possibly be no movie. Each of these aspects gives the audience a easy interpretation of the movie and what is going on.
ReplyDeleteIn the hyperlink movie Babel each of these aspects of the Misc-en-scene is easily depicted. The director shows the setting distinctively throughout the movie the US, Tokyo, Morocco, and Mexico. Each scene has a great depiction of the setting the characters are in. The makeup and costume of the characters also give a distinct depiction of what country the characters are in and separate each from the other.

That is an example of Mise- En- Scene being perfect for a scene.
An example of a great Mise-En-Scene from class is when we watched the Legend of 1800. As the trumpet player had a flashback of how things used to be on the ship. The camera flashed and showed us many people in a ballroom dressed n very stylish clothes; Men dressed in button down suits and women in flowing dresses as classical music was being played. We watched as everyone danced around in a daze of celebration and joy in bright lights and bliss. Every component of that scene let us know that the ship was a very fun place to be and it made the flashback more intense and it shifted back to the current day ship as the walls were rotting, and everything looked gray and dead. The Mise- En- Scene definately is a key factor when arranging a scene.

ReplyDeleteThe concept Mise En Scene is the embodiment of film. The aspects of mise en scene means putting action into scene. From lighting to costume is what is in the action of a scene which is miss en scene. Camera angles and the rate of a shot ties into the aspect of miss en scene.

Computer generation deminishes the idea of miss en scene.

ReplyDeleteMise en scene is referring to ALL of the elements contained in a shot : actors, scenery, props, lighting, camera movement within a shot, actor movement within a shot, the actual composition of the shot, camera angles, etc. This is everything you physically see happening within a frame of the movie. In a film, it has a deeper meaning, and refers to just about everything that goes into the making of the shot, including the composition itself: framing, , lighting, set design, movement of the camera and characters and general visual environment, even sound as it helps elaborate the composition. In other words, mise-en-scène describes the things in the frame and the way it is shown and arranged. if a film depends entirely on dialogue to tell its story or if its visual structure is made up primarily of a static camera held at eye level on characters who are speaking in any given scene, or if its lighting is too bright, even, and shadow less, it lacks mise-en-scene. Unless the director is purposely using these "bad" characteristics to convey a certain tone. But as long as these elements are being played with, you are still using mise en scene to help your story.
ReplyDeleteThe term Mise en scene derives from the Italian phrase "putting into scene." The four components of Mise en scene are setting, lighting, costume and makeup, and staging and performance. Setting is important in Mise en scene because the setting can shape how the audience perceives the movie as it progresses. In the film Babel one of the main characters was shot and the setting was in Morocco so American citizens automatically assumed it was a terrorist attack but there was no terrorism involved. Lighting is important in the film because it can create a tone. Low-key lighting in a film can create a mysterious tone. High-key lighting can create an illumination that can suggest different lighting conditions or times of day. Make-up is used to make a character look a certain way. The usage of Make-up can dramatize a characters look to add a distinctive affect to the audience’s memory. Costumes can play a major role in films. Costumes can become motifs, and can enhance characterization and following changes in attitudes. For example, in the film Batman the director uses the color black in Batman’s costuming to correspond with the characters personality. Staging and performance done by the character is what makes the acting seem real. If the staging and performance is not done properly it does not seem realistic.
ReplyDeleteMise-en-scene means putting into scene. When it comes to mise en scene there are four important factors which include: Setting, lighting, costume and behavior of figures.
ReplyDeleteSetting is the time and place the film takes place. An important factor of the setting are the props or prop. The prop is an object that has a function within the ongoing action.
Costume and makeup can have specific functions in the totality of the film. Make up enhances the character of the actor.
Lighting is more important in film. Lighting shapes the object.
Mise en scène is made up of the most recognizable attributes of a film; it includes costumes,make-up, props, the setting,
ReplyDeleteand the actors and all the other natural and artificial details that characterize the spaces filmed.
Setting creates both a sense of place and a mood and it may also reflect a character’s emotional state of mind. An examples for one of the aspects is a prop that can become a motif for a film. This motif has a significance in the film which may continue to show up through out the film.
Mise-en-Scene is in one word is life. When you initially wake up in the morning if there was a camera recording you it would be evident. You waking up stretching, as the bright beams from the sunlight hit your face. What do we have? We have you in your pajamas which is your costume, we have natural lighting from the sun, and we have the character of someone who wishes they weren't late for class. You see when Mise-en-Scene means "to put into scene" it is exactly that. Anything you decide to put in front of the camera adds an aspect to the environment so it is automatically part of the scene.

ReplyDeleteMise-en-Scene in film means to "put on stage", "put into the scene", or "staging an action" and referred to the design and direction of the entire production. The elements of mise-en-scene are setting, lighting, costume, and behavior of figure. Settings play an important role in film more than theater.
An example of the setting component would be a prop used in a movie. Sometimes props may become motifs, which is known as a element that repeats itself in the film and has a important meaning. The surrounding environment in a movie is what makes you believe a movie. Lighting not only illuminates a subject but it also elicits an emotional response. High key lighting is usually associated with the "good guys" and we feel safe with high key lighting.
The term, Mise-en-Scene, means "putting into the scene". With Mise-en-Scene the director has control over what appears in the film frame. Mise-en-Scene allows the director to give the scene a more realistic look and also allows the actors in the film a more natural performance. Many factors goes into making the shot in the frame a good shot.
ReplyDeleteWhile discussing Mise-en-Scene in class, we viewed two music videos that described the different aspects of Mise-en-Scene. In Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots are Made for Walking", the director used high contrast lighting. The lighting was supported by Nancy and the dancers in the video wearing warm colors to bring out the high contrast lighting even more. In The Police's "Every Breath you Take", the director used low contrast lighting. He used a variety of grays and black and white areas to set the mood of the song.
With Mise-en-Scene the director has several areas of control to make the scene such as the setting, the costumes and makeup, lighting, and staging. Filmmakers use these different concepts of Mise-en-Scene to make the perfect frame.
In the movie, Babel, the director used all these concepts to make the connection of the different locations around the world. Each scene from each location was set to describe that location and to help the viewers have an understanding of the narrative.
Mise en scene is the vision that the director has for the film, what they decide to 'Put into Scene'. There are four aspects that are involved setting, lighting, costume and the behavior of figures. Setting in the time and place in which a film happens. We saw in the movie Babel, it was not shown in chronological order sometimes we would see things happened last in the movie first. The movie also took place in four countries, tying them together in the end.
ReplyDeleteCostumes can sometimes be used as a signifier. In the movie The Secret of the Traveling Pants, one of the main characters Lena goes through a transformation from being this shy, conservative girl who plays by the rules and never wears pants, to who now has fun wears makeup and finally lets her hair down.
In the clip of The Godfather, we see how they use black and white with low contrast lighting to create a mysterious atmosphere. The director also chose to use the cat as a prop,
to make the main character seem more human-like in contrast to the mobster that he really is.
In the Hitchcock film we watched in class, during the opening scene while everything is in black and white, they purposely show a women carrying a bright yellow purse to signify that it is important to the story.
Mise-en-scene translates into "putting into scene." It pretty much means and refers to anything that is used to relay a shot including the fours aspects: lighting, setting, costume, and behavior of figures. Setting plays a more important role in film than theatre and includes things such as color and props. Color is an important component of setting and also helps relay the message that the director is trying to get across utilizing specific colors. The next concept, lighting, is also significant because lighter and darker areas within the frame help to create overall composition and direct our attention to certain objects and actions. Lighting form objects by creating highlights and shadows. You can utilize the front, side, back, under, and top light depending on what you are trying to imply for the viewers. There are also lights such as key lights, background lights, fill lights, high key and low-key lights that all serve different purposes.What the characters are wearing are important because costumes can have a specific function in the movie. What they are wearing allows us to understand the discourse that we should take. For example, if they are wearing space suits, we are going to imply that they are out of space not the desert. Finally, we have the behavior of our characters. We are to watch the movement of our characters very carefully because it can usually tell us what is going to happen within the movie. Facial expressions are symbolic as well as things that may seem common, such as, coughing. Take into consideration that characters do not usually cough randomly because we do not think of characters as being sick unless the author has made it clear that they are. A cough is actually symbolic of death. We analyzed that throughout Babel, depending on where they were in the world defined what type of clothing they wore, what sense of lighting would be used and the different discourses that we would take on. For example, while we were in Toyko, we saw many lights throughout the scenes to express more of a young party scene for the teenagers that we were introduced to. Dr. Mo explained to us that nothing is by accident in a film.
ReplyDeleteMise-en-scene translated means "put into scene". The term is referring to the elements contained in a shot like the arrangement of scenery or stage properties such as actors,props, lighting, and camera movement within a shot. Encompassing the most recognizable attributes of a film it displays that every film has a deeper meaning from the framing to lighting or even sound; these attributes help to elaborate the composition.
ReplyDeleteLighting : creates atmosphere within a scene for example dark lighting may indicate fear or tension.Shadows often indicate fear and bright lighting is normally associated with happiness.
Costume/ Make-up: from cuts to bruises to the array of outfits we see on films all play apart in telling the overall all story. Different colors represent different things and send us different messages such as : red= promiscuous purple= power/nobility,black= evil/mystery. Unless the director is purposely using negative characteristics to convey a certain tone you would never know the physical intentions of the character but their custom might help to rely that message.
Set/Location: may evoke emotions when used correctly such as a graveyard,a hospital, or even a wedding. Time and period also play an important part in telling a story especially if the film is set in a specific time period everything will help to tell that story such as the props, buildings, and signs .Overall Mise-en-scene helps to further in depth explain the root of the story and what the author was trying to say.

The term is from a French expression meaning "put into the scene". It describes the elements in the frame and the way they are arranged.
ReplyDeleteAn example of Mise-en Scene would be the types of clothes the characters wore and the flowers the main character had in the film The Fault in Our Stars. The red flowers he was holding connotes the love he had for another woman. It signified affection as well. The props that he had just made the film seem even more passionate and show the audience that the love he had for her was real because he brought her flowers. The filmmakers wanted to emphasize the extremes he would go through to display his love.
In the movie we watched in class, Babel used Mise-en-Scence to portray the different countries each character was in. When we were seeing the scene of the poor people it showed them in Morocco living in huts and the scene had a lot of dark lighting. That was used in the scene to represent poorness and sadness. When the movie display the other characters in Tokyo it showed them to be more privileged and the lights were bright.

ReplyDeleteMise en scene or "to put into scene" is the arrangement of everything that appears in the film from the actors, costumes, lighting, props, decor, etc. Even though many people are involved in its creation, the director has the real say so over the entire aspect of mise-en-scène and all of its elements. In most cases, the mise-en- scène is used to make the scene feel more realistic. It is also used to evoke lasting feelings throughout the movie, but not just for selected scenes. The whole movies is compiled of things that the movie creators hand selected. These specific things are put into scene to make what you see on the screen as authentic as possible. for example, you can't just shoot a film today and claim its a film about the 1900's. There are things that must be added to the set and scene to convey that time period. Lighting, being one of the most key components of a film or specific scene must be manipulated by the director to accommodate his or her desires for the movie. The two broad types of lighting approaches are: low-key lighting and high-key lighting.
ReplyDeleteFor example, the movie that i did my analysis on, The Wizard of Oz, had a lot of Mise En Scene going on. The directors said that they took a lot of time and spent a lot of money on creating the magical land of Oz because they wanted the details to be just as intricate as they were in the book. Everything from the costumes all the way down to the yellow brick road that they walked on was planned and placed into the scene to make the viewer feel like they were really in a new world.
Mise-en-scene is a French term meaning “putting into the scene”. Filmmakers use Mise-en-scene to control what appears in the film frame and as a way to achieve realism through setting and actors performances. The four components of Mise-en-scene are setting, lighting, costume and behavior of figures. Setting is more significant in film than it is in theater. Setting can create narrative expectations, create realism, and help to shape how we understand story action. Lighting allows for the audience to see action, articulates textures, creates highlights and shapes a shot’s overall composition. Costumes supports the plot of the story by creating realistic looks and by providing balance to a scene using colors, textures and silhouette. Behavior of figures allow for the expression of feeling and thought in a film. The term figures can apply to anything from actors to props.
ReplyDeleteThese elements of Miss-en-scene can be seen in the movie Babel. Setting was used to differentiate between the story lines of each character. For example when we saw the crowded streets and buildings with many lights we knew the focus would be on Cheiko who was in Tokyo and when the setting changed to dessert and mountain tops we knew the focus was switched to Yussef and Ahmed who was in Morocco. Lighting was also used to show differences between the locations, in Morocco the lighting was a lot darker than the bright lights that were used in Tokyo. Costumes and props were used to support the story line when the nanny brought the children to Mexico. As they were driving into Mexico there were many people in bright, colorful clothing and many props like flags, crosses, border crossing signs and images of the Virgin of Guadalupe to indicate that they were in Mexico.

It makes the audience feel a sense of realism.
ReplyDeleteExamples of mise-en-scene can be seen in the movie Juice. The film took place in the early 1990s in Harlem, New York and their way of dress reflected that. The characters were styled with clothing that was synonymous to this era, flannel shirts, baggy jean, and high-top fades. Also with lighting, when there was very suspenseful scenes the director used low-key lighting to make it feel the tension between all the characters.

The purpose is to bring realism to films giving it a authentic look. Mis-En-Scene was originally applied to directing plays. It consisted of the setting, lighting, costume/makeup, and staging/performance.
ReplyDeleteAn example of Mis-En-Scene from a example in class would be the movie "Babel". In one scene of the movie "Babel" there is a scene where the tourist is shot through the bus. The scene starts on top of the mountain with the little boys from Morocco playing with the Rifle and then it goes back to the Americans on the bus. This component of Mis-En-Scene would be the costume/makeup and the setting to portray the tourist and the people who lived in the town showing the circumstances of where they lived in the desert. The lighting was natural from the sun, so it wasn't much need for more lighting to show the heat rays.
Another example of this hyperlinked movie is the transition from different countries and places to show the culture and differences of each individual family. Starting in Morocco, to Mexico and United States, to going all the way to Tokyo. The characters of each country were distinctively different and it showed the characteristics of each hyperlink's setting.
Mis-en-scene means to "set the scene." This is done by using probs, clothing, and using make-up to help the audience feel like they are in the scene.
ReplyDeleteAn example of mis-en-scene is in the movie The Great Gatsby the film is made to feel like you are in Roaring 20's era. The characters wear bright glittery costumes. The parties were big and exaggerated to show how during this era everyone seemed happy because America's economy was doing exceptionally well and the citizens were reaping the benefits. It also showed the American dream to be married and have a family. The main characters in the movie showed this by having the man as the head of the household and the wife being more of a housewife and more concerned with motherly duties. With all of these components help set the scene making it realistic to the audience making a mis-en-scene.
Mise en scene simply means to put into scene or basically setting the stage. Directors portray this by the use of costumes, lighting, props, location etc; the director is in charge of deciding what goes where, when, and how.

Everything around her, her lifestyle was black and white pretty plain except for the fact that her purse was the only thing that stood out. Even when she cut herself by mistake at work she ran into the bathroom and was shocked of the red blood which brought her back to the past and what happened to her. The director has a way of using the characteristics of mis en scene to tell his or her story.

The term “Mise – en – scene” means “putting into scene” and is meant to define the elements used to design a theatrical or film performance. Methods such as creative writing, storyboarding, costume design, set design, lighting and/or pyrotechnics are often considered in the key elements in developing the ideal composition of verisimilitude and authenticity. Its responsible for setting the tone in the film, positioning the actors in proportionate areas on set, making the story correlate with the traditional plot structure and creating an alternative reality for the audience.
ReplyDeleteCostume, actors, set ratio, setting, story, makeup, acting, dialogue all are important attributes to the creation of the production. Without them, there wouldn’t be a film. The costumes are what the characters wear to express either their personality, the weather, setting or explicit or implicit themes or expressed generalizations and the actors help, through their action and movement, present differing ideas and opinions to the audience that most may not even consider rationalizing or applying to principle. The set ratio determines exactly the length, width and height of a rectangular image and provides multiple ways on observing the world before us. The story gives the audience a sense of relatedness with the actors, amplifying the likeliness of the character’s ability to give the film meaning, volume and depth with their performance. Makeup brightens the actor’s appearance so that they will be able to stand out and look appealing to the audience. Acting is, of course, contemporary to dialogue as they both bring life to a situation, occurrence or event that’s beneficial to the story arch and the success of the composition.

ReplyDeleteMise-en-scene simply means nothing more but to put in scene. Everything and anything that helps compose the shot. Mise-en-scene has four components: setting, lighting, costumes, and behavior of characters. Mise-en-scene is all about taking all of those components and bringing a story to life. Each has their own characteristic which makes them just as important as the other. Setting presents, the picture of the film, lighting sets the mood, and the actors tell the story. Producers usually scout out different places for different settings in the movie. The setting in a movie is one of the main aspect that makes everything going on in the story believable. Lighting not only makes a subject stand out but it also can bring about an emotional response. High key lighting is usually associated with the more positive characters and we get a sense of safety with key lighting. Costume is what help shape the character besides behavior. A costume helps a viewer read the character beyond dialogue. The behavior or acting done by the characters can literally be the deciding factor in if a movie is good or bad. The way the story is presented lies on them completely. All in all, Mise-en-scene gives the audience a sense of realism or a certain feeling by catering to the senses.
ReplyDeleteSetting played a big part in the movie we watched in class Babel. With the story taking place in three different countries it helped to get across the message that we all are connected no matter where we are on Earth.
Mise-en-scene is a french phrase which means "Putting into scene." It was first used to practice of directing plays. It was later extended as an official term to film direction by film scholars to signify the director's control over what appears in the frame of the film. The key aspects of mise-en-scene are setting, lighting, costume, and the behavior of figures which all overlap with the art of the theater.
ReplyDeleteAnother important aspect of mise-en-scene is controlling it, which is what happens when a director stages the action for the camera. The director controls the behavior of various figures in the mise-en-scene. In terms of Figures it could mean people as well as animals. There could also be a control of facial expressions and movements which opens up avenue of acting within the scene which creates and sense of Actuality.
Mise-en-scene means putting into scene. The aspects of it include setting, lighting,costume and behavior of figures. The concept of mise-en-scene is to help break down the components of a basic film. Setting is important because it shows where the film takes place. With out setting it would be hard for viewers to understand the place and time of the film. If a film was taking place during 2017 and the plot is about a post apocalyptic place then the story would be hard to follow. In the movie babel the movie took place in Mexico, America, China and in the middle east. The setting in all these places were important because it help make the movie make sense. For an example when the nanny and her nephew and the kids she was baby sitting crossed the border into Mexico and then tried to come back. The setting here was important because crossing the border is a major issue today so viewers were able to understand the importance of the officers asking for papers regarding the children and the seriousness of the nephew just choosing to drive off. Lighting is important in films because too much would be too bring and not enough will betray things to be darker.
ReplyDeleteCostumes are imperative because they have to go with the setting and relate to a character. If a character works in a coal mine then his or her clothes would be dirty. In the movie The Birth of a Nation, characters who played as slaves were wearing rags or ripped clothes to highlight their struggles and how poor they were and how bad they were treated. The white owners wore better clothing. Also in babel the Asian girl wore school clothes and a volleyball uniform because she was a student. What actors wear in films are very important and add much meaning into a story. The behavior of characters are also key factors in a film because it helps move the plot along. In The Birth of a Nation slaves were picking cotton and slave owners where whipping and killing slaves. The purpose for actors to act accordingly to their role is so that viewers can believe the action that is happening. If an actor is doing something that does not make sense, viewers will not be able to enjoy the film as intended. All of these aspects in mise-en-scene relate with each other and if one is not done correctly then the others fall short and can result in a bad film.
Mise en scène envelops the most conspicuous qualities of a film – the setting and the on-screen characters; it incorporates outfits and make-up, props, and the various regular and manufactured points of interest that describe the spaces taped. The term is obtained from a French dramatic expression, which means generally "put into the scene". As it were, mise-en-scène depicts the stuff in the casing and the way it is appeared and orchestrated. It has four general zones: setting, lighting, ensemble and arranging. Setting creates both a sense of place and a mood and it may also reflect a character’s emotional state of mind. This arrangement of key, fill, and backlight provides even illumination of the scene and, as a result, is the most commonly used lighting scheme in typical narrative cinema.Arguably the most easily noticeable aspect of mise-en-scene is costume. Costume can include both makeup or wardrobe choices used to convey a character’s personality or status, and to signify these differences between characters.An actor or actress’s performance can make or break a movie regardless of how engaging the story is.

Mise-en-scène was applied to film in the 1950s by the French critics writing at Cahiers du Cinéma (Notebooks on Cinema). They borrowed it from French theater, where it essentially referred to everything that appears on the stage (it literally means “putting in the scene”). The thinking was that a film’s mise-en-scène consisted of everything that the camera sees: the setting, the lighting, the actors, their performances(including blocking), costumes, makeup, props. It also referred to how those elements were arranged within the frame—in other words, it was synonymous with the shot’s composition.

The arrangement of everything that appears in the framing – actors, lighting, décor, props, costume – is called mise-en-scène, a French term that means “placing on stage.” The frame and camerawork are also considered part of the mise-en-scène of a movie.
ReplyDeleteIn cinema, placing on the stage really means placing on the screen, and the director is in charge of deciding what goes where, when, and how.David A. Cook, in his book A History of Narrative Film, points out how a mise-en-scène is formed by all the elements that appear “within the shot itself, as opposed to the effects created by cutting.” In other words, if it’s on the screen and if it’s a physical object recorded by the camera, then it’s part of the mise-en-scène.
Mise-en-scene means putting into scene. This word is derived from French. For a more broken down meaning it is the arrangement of scenery and stage properties in a play. The four aspects of mise-en-scene are setting, lighting, costume and behavior of figures. An important concept of mise-en-scene is to break down the components of a film. Setting is one of the more important aspects because it plays a more important role in film than theatre. Also without setting it would be difficult for the audience to know where the film took place. Another important aspect would be lightning. Hard and soft lightning; Low-key and high-key lightning are used while shooting a film. Costume and makeup which is another aspect of mis-en-scene plays a big role in film. This aspect enhances the characters looks in the film.
ReplyDeleteFor example in class we watched a film by the name of Babel. The two main characters were American but the movie had many settings such as Mexico, China, and the middle-east. In each setting there were different characters to help the settings make sense. Also costumes were important because you were able to separate the poor from the more fortunate. With the American family being in the film they were traveling in the middle-east on a mini vacation but you could identify that because of their looks and the middle-eastern people makeup looks were assumed to make them look dirty and tired.

Its constantly repeated and is connected to something. There's also a great example of side lighting in this film, where the artist features are sculpted.

ReplyDeleteSettings, for example, props, assume a vital part in film moreover. In such motion pictures like "Marnie", by Alfred Hitchcock, the yellow sack as a prop that had a huge impact in the film. The yellow awful stood out among whatever remains of the setting seeing that it was a warm shading versus the set, which was cool colors, indicating how vital the pack was and how the shading was noteworthy. The sack's pertinence was that it had the cash in it that the female had stolen. Later on in the film a similar lady that had the sack disposed of the yellow pack and was not any more a dull hair lady and was currently light. At that point at one point the lady spilled some red ink which helped her to remember some awful circumstances throughout her life.

ReplyDeletegestures, and their facial expressions). In addition, mise-en-scene includes the camera’s actions and angles and thecinematography, which simply means photography for motion pictures.
Even though many professionals are involved in its creation, the director is the one who oversees the entire mise-en-scène and all of its elements. Not just that, but during the early stages of pre-production, the director or his AD sits down with set designers, prop masters, location managers, costume designers, and scenic artists to determine the look and feel intended.In some instances, the mise-en- scène is designed to evoke emotions that permeate the whole movie

ReplyDeleteMise-en scéne was one of the first technical terms I have learned this semester upon entering the Mass Communication program. The term is a form of expression used to describe items being placed in the framing of cinematography as well as stage design. It was very interesting to learn that there is a form of expression being placed in each and every movie and television show. To think that a lamp was carefully placed in a scene for some sort of reason was something I have never thought about. Not only is Mise-en scéne about what goes into each frame but characters, props, and different kinds of lighting plays a part as well. It is a concept of “telling a story” and describing the setting.
ReplyDeleteUpon learning about Mise-en scéne there were several scenes the class and I were shown for better understanding. One of the scenes that was shown was “The Graduate” the church scene. Upon analyzing, we were pointed out to the several crosses in the church as well as the cross being used as a weapon. The cross being used as a weapon relates to mise-en scene as being a prop being placed there for use.
The concept of Mise-en-Scene (Original French) is “putting into scene” and was first applied to the practice of directing plays. In controlling the mise-en-Scene, the director stages the event for the camera.
ReplyDeleteThe Four aspects of Mise-en-Scene are setting, lighting, costume, and behavior of figures. Color can become a motif and props can be used as well. The setting in a movie is where you set the tone. If you didn’t have a setting then the movie would be boring. Lighting in a movie plays a major role. Lighter and darker areas within the frame help create the overall composition of each shot and thus guide our attention to certain objects and actions. The two types of shadows are attached and cast shadow. An attached shadow occurs when light fails to illuminate part of a object and a cast shadow is when a object or person is partially illuminated because something is blocking its light source. Costumes and makeup are basically making a character who they are for the movie. Costumes can play important motivic and casual roles in narrative. Makeup has been used to enhance the appearance of actors on film. The behavior of figures (Staging: Movement and Performace, Acting and Actuality, Acting: Functions and Motivation, Acting in the Context of Other Techniques).
The film Psycho that we saw in class had different lighting effects used. When the women was in the bathroom taking a shower and the guy was stabbing her with the knife.

The arrangement of everything that appears in the framing such as actors, lighting, décor, props, and costumes is called mise-en-scène. This is a French expression that signifies "putting in front of an audience" are the elements of mise-en-scene. This is very important in film because what the viewers see pictured is primarily the focus whereas commentary adds to the visual.

In film, setting truly implies putting on the screen being that it embodies the visuals we see and associate the scenes with.
ReplyDeleteMise-en-Scene means to put into the scene. While the screenplay is important in constructing a film or play, mise-en-scene is what brings a production to life and helps the director portray how they see the production in their head. Lighting, costume, setting, and movement breath life into a production and make it unique.
ReplyDeleteFor example, if a film is set in the 1700's and characters are wearing Nikes and digital watches, the audience are obviously going to notice. This lack of attention to detail can become distracting and counterproductive. Aspects of mise-en-scene such as character movement are vital in directing the attention of the audience an lighting helps set the mood for a production.
In English Mise-en-scene stands for "putting on stage." This can mean anything used in a film to bring the film to life. Props are a good example of this. When you think of a movies you have to think of everything in front of the camera. Think of things like a characters make up, clothing, or even a background.
ReplyDeleteFor example, lets think of a cop in a movie. First things you will see is his blue uniform, his gun, and his badge. Another good example would be the cop car. In a film these are all props.

ReplyDeleteIn the movie "Get Out" the opening scene we see is dark and we see a black guy walking the streets at night and someone appears to be following him. This very scene is an exact account of 'Art Imitating life" this scene is sort of the situation with Trayvon Martin in a sense because as we know he was walking alone at night and George Zimmerman began following him. I believe the director Jordan Peele knew by placing this scene at the beginning it with evoke emotion. Specifically, the same type of emotion we got when we learned the story of Trayvon Martin. Ultimately it foreshadowed the themes and messages of the film, and that is what Mise-en-scène is all about.
The concept of Mise-en-scene is basically to bring the audience into the movie. More importantly, how can the direct get the audience to think and feel a certain way or pay attention/understand a certain message . Its components could include Set design, costumes, characters, color, light,shade, etc. Those are all elements that help bring the movie together . The placement of things such as props, characters, and even the order of each scene help tell the story.
ReplyDeleteFor example, in the movie "Babel", lighting, costumes, makeup,props, and set design were used to help the audience understand the difference between the four groups of people but also their connection as well. The film took place on three different continents in the cities of San Diego, Morocco, and Tokyo. In Morocco, the director made sure to express how poor the families were by using the location to his advantage. Dirt roads, small houses,and the wide range of desert land. This differed heavily compared to the bright city lights, busy streets, large buildings, and condo styled home of Chieko in Tokyo. As far as makeup and costumes, in the scene where the Mexican caretaker was wondering in the desert, her once well put together red dress was shown tattered and her lips were chapped and brittle due to the blazing sun.Finally, props as well as the scene placement slowly allowed the audience to piece together a connection between the four groups. The earlier scene where the Mexican caretaker was on the phone with Richard was played back close to the end of the movie but instead of the camera showing Maria's pov it was shown from Richard's pov. The picture of Cheiko's dad and Hassan was used as a prop that connected the two together. Likewise, the picture that Richard showed Anwar (The guy that was helping Richard and Susan) connected Richard to his kids and Maria.

Basically, is everything that is put together to represent the overall look of a production. It expresses the different arrangements and elements we see on camera that contributes such as: makeup, costume, setting, and lighting. An example would be the television show Grown-Ish the setting is based on a college campus so that the viewers can relate and get a feel of what college is all about. Majority of the scenes are in the café, dorm room, or a Greek party the details of this setting helps us view more details about the context. Seeing people walking to and from there classes and dorm rooms to indicate what this episode/show is all about. Lighting plays a vital role in the way a film is produced so that we get the full look. An example would be pitch perfect the lighting they use in the movie is high key to minimize shadows while they are on stage performing.

ReplyDeleteMise en scène, is a term used to describe the setting of a scene in a play or a film. It refers to everything placed on the stage or in front of the camera, including people. Mise en scène translated from French, it means “placing on stage.” The setting of the store plays a major role in the film than theatre. The elements of mise-en-scene are setting, lighting, costume, and movement of figure. Settings play an important role in film more than theater. The various elements of design help express a film’s vision by generating a sense of time and space, as well as setting a mood, and sometimes suggesting a character’s state of mind.
ReplyDeleteAn example is the movie we seen in class of Hitchcock Psycho. The shower curtain that he used became important factor of the scene, instead of just an ordinary item in the bathroom. Another example from Psycho is when we met Marion Crane, in the arms of her lover, during the film’s opening moments. Although she is sleeping with a married man, Hitchcock chooses a color often associated with cleanliness, thus suggesting to the audience that, Marion is a good person. However, after she steals $40,000 dollars, Hitchcock shows her wearing a black bra that symbolizes her sin and provides a strong visual to this important change in her character. The film contains several scenes in which Hitchcock’s use of props and lighting are worthy of critical analysis.

ReplyDeleteMise-en-scene is a French expression that means "putting into scene". It consist of four aspects, which are lighting, costumes, beavior of figures, and settings. It's very important because that's what the audience is going to pay the most attention to. Mise-en-scene is basically used to create the mood for the film / play. It's main goal is to draw the audience's attention more into the film / play.
Props play an important part in a film / play. For instance, take a young boy for example. If he is on his way to school, the props needed would be a bookbag,lunchbox,and a school uniform possibly. Without those props, the audience may not know what's even happening in the film / play. The lighting plays an important role in a field / play as well because it helps set the mood for the scenes. For example, in the film, Babel, the lighting would set the mood for the different situations.
