Introduction to Mise en scene Organizer

 Introduction to the element of mise-en-scene for the film

Day 5

The objective of today's lesson was to learn about mise en scene and what is its importance to media production. I learned that mise en scene is anything that is put into a frame to create a scene. I also learned that mise en scene consists of seven elements such as lighting, acting, props, makeup, setting, composition, and color. All of these are things that can be seen in a frame. These elements help settle the genre or the subgenre of a movie. Based on the element of the mise en scene it helps the audience understand the message the producer is trying to relay. Without the elements of the mise en scene, a producer may face a lot of difficulties organizing a scene or a movie. which is why I believe that semiotics is also linked hand in hand with mise en scene for instance, if a producer were to use a lot of low lighting setting in a horror movie the producer most likely connotate the idea that low lighting mean fear/emptiness or hopeless while adding suspense to the scene.
