  1. Mise en Scene

  2. Mise en Scene • Refers generally to the arrangements of everything physical in a camera shot, which includes the setting, costumes, makeup, and objects

  3. Setting • Movie landscapes often provide a specialized environment that supports some species but not others

  4. Ways to show Setting • Spell it out

  5. Ways to show Setting • Use visual information at the beginning of the film so the audience will recognize the setting. Shane

  6. Uses of Setting • Reveals personality of character

  7. Sometimes these environments even seem to determine the actions of the species who inhabit them

  8. Uses of Setting • Provide landscape for action of story In the 1969 movie, "Midnight Cowboy," Joe Buck, played by Jon Voight, and Ratso Rizzo, played by Dustin Hoffman, try to cross West 58th Street and Ratso yells at a cab "Hey, we're walking here" in a classic jaywalking sequence In 1951, during the Korean war, some youth are bored in their small Texan town; only two places to go to: the bar, and the movie theater; the first one closes down when its owner dies, and so does the second one for lack of patrons...

  9. Costumes and Makeup • Costumes and makeup help identify and remember characters

  10. Costumes and Makeup • Costumes and Makeup show character alliances

  11. Costumes and Makeup • Costumes and Makeup can indicate character transformations

  12. Objects • Property or Prop • Any object, other than scenery or costumes, that appears in a scene

  13. Objects • Objects can introduce bits of information that helps advance the story or delineate a character

  14. Objects • Objects are sometimes used for the associations they evoke

  15. Objects • Objects can be focus of action in a film.

  16. For film theorists objects are not merely props or clever narrative devices but essential elements of cinema. Because camera close-ups can depict objects in such explicit detail, their potential for arousing emotions and communicating meaning is tremendously enhanced.

  17. The same can be said for setting, costumes and makeup because they also help to “objectify” a film’s meaning in actual physical terms. Thus, it is clear that Mise en Scene can serve several important functions in the movies, depending on how the filmmaker depicts “the plastics of the image” on the screen.
