Preliminary Exercise 3 A: Introduction to Mise en scene Codes Organizer

Elements of Mise en scene

      Mise en scene is the placement of actors and scenery on a stage for a theatrical, film, or television production. It's the process of deciding what to include in the scene and where it should go on the stage. Mise en scene is important in film because it helps the film be put together. Without mise en scene, scenes from film, or just the film itself would be not as impactful, not as put together or even put together as filmmakers that use mise en scene. The elements of mise en scene are props, set design, costumes, makeup, color, lighting, blocking, framing, lenses, sound, frame rate, and music. Three things that I take away from the video are that filmmaking has two different approaches, Mise en scene and and Montage, there are two basic traditions in mise en scene, naturalistic and theatrical, and French film critic Andre Bazin is one of the biggest champions of mise en scene.

      The objective of the lesson is that students will analyze texts to identify the key concepts and vocabulary associated with their Foundations Portfolio Blogs and Component 2 Section A essay question for AICE Media Studies. They will also practice their comprehension and writing skills to build confidence with the course material. Blocking in mise en scene is to figure out the position, gesture, movements of the actors on stage. Framing in mise en scene is the placement and position of the subject(s) in your shot.
