Mise-en-scene
The term mise-en-scene is a French word which basically means everything within the scene or frame. Therefore the mise-en-scene includes:
- Settings and props
- Costume, hair and makeup
- Facial expression and body language
- Lighitng and colour
- Position/location within the frame.
Therefore when filming a scene every aspect is thought about carefully. For example in a Thriller it is likely to see old, eerie settings, weapons, suits and spy clothing, 'strong' body language, low key lighting, dull colours and birght explosions. All aspects of mise-en-scene but also all typical of the genre, therefore they have clearly been selected carefully, the mise-en-scene has been carefully constructed to fit to the genre and narrative. Below I have created a mood board of some things that could be found in the mise-en-scene in terms of the Thriller genre.
