Mise-En-Scene is all about what you see in the frame yourself, its a french term that means 'what is put into the frame'. It's visual information infront of the camera, it communicates essential information to the audience.
When thinking about creating a frame, you must consider that even the way you move in the scene, could forshadow, also the way in which things are positioned may be pivitol. Its clear that you communicate more than whats not actually being said.
5 Elements-
1) Setting and Props- settings are pivitol, sometimes stereotypically TV uses less of setting because TV is smaller than cinema film. Although images of location are sometimes important on establishing character, theme and genre.
2) Costume, Hair and Makeup- this is extremely important when introducing what genre and era, normally as soon as we see a character, we have made up our minds about the two of these. It also helps to introduce the characters personality.
3) Facial expressions and Body Language- In general life aswell as film this is key to the understanding peoples thoughts. Often in film and television facial expressions and body language is emphasised by camera's zooming in, or focusing on a certain action.
4) Lighting and Colour- This is key to finding out what the genre is, and the mood or the theme of either the entire film, or just a certain characters personality.
5) Positioning of character/objects within in the frame- Important objects could be positioned so that it draws the reader in to look at them. This could because they are of some relevance or importance later on. Positioning of character could to show parts of their personality, they may be behind or bellow someone to show hierarchy for example.
