Mise-en-Scene (Setting)

                           MISE-EN-SCENE

Mise-en-scène is the stage design and arrangement of actors in scenes for a theatre or film production, both in the visual arts through storyboarding, visual themes, and cinematography and in narrative-storytelling through directions.

Production Design:

• Production design is the intersection of art, architecture and narrative, using space, lines, shapes, colors and patterns to form
  a distinct visual language to elevate on-screen stories. Often overlooked, production design has an incredible impact on how audiences feel when they watch a film or television show.
  

Location:

• 
  The right film location serves as a dynamic backdrop that enhances the storytelling process. It sets the tone, atmosphere, and visual appeal of a film, playing a pivotal role in creating a compelling and immersive viewing experience for the audience.

Studio:

• 
  A benefit of shooting in a studio space is that the environment can be completely controlled, which is a key difference between studio and location filming. The environment of the studio can be set for the type of production that is being filmed.
• Studios give the ability to control and adjust the lighting in a film. Lighting is one of the most important parts of any film, as it can make all the difference between a good movie and a bad one.

Set Design:

• Set design is integral to the overall look and feel of a film. It helps to establish the time period, geographical location, socio-economic status of characters, and even their personalities and emotions.

Costume and Makeup:

• 
  Costume designers and makeup artists are essential for creating a visually stunning film. They can enhance the mood, the character, and the story of the film through their choices of colors, fabrics, accessories, and effects.
  
  

Lighting, Color Design:

• Lighting and colour can be used as visual tools to create meaning, and to create a sense of depth and three-dimensionality.
  
  Both help to establish mood and atmosphere and can highlight and define certain objects and characters to code a story.
