Film StudyELA 8
Directors want their audiences to respond to their movies in a particular way.
They have discovered that if they use certain effects, they will get certain responses.
They plan each shot to have the response that they desire.
We call this mise-en-scene.
STORYBOARDING
Mise-en-scene is the way in which a shot has been composed, or put together. It involves:
Lighting
Focus
Line
Colour
Camera shot and angle
MISE-EN-SCENE
Lighting is the skilled use of natural and artificial lighting in order to create certain effects:
Top: Shows subject as angelic, innocent, good
Side: Shows contrast between lit and unlit sides; often portrays subject as untrustworthy
Bottom: Conveys the sinister nature of the subject
Front: Portrays subject in the most common way
Back: The subject is silhouetted for a sinister and threatening
