Mise En Scene
1) Production design
Production design refers to the overall look of the production. Production designers are responsible for the visual concept of a television, film or theatre production.
2) Location/setting
A film location is the place in which the film is produced or filmed. The location/setting of a production must be carefully selected and thought out and it must be relevant to the plot.
3) Studio
A studio is a place where an artist, photographer, sculpture or recording artist works.
4) Set design
A set design is the physical creation of a visual scene. The set design is the physical creation of the visual concept and ideas of the production and design team. The set design must remain consist in terms of if a scene is filmed on the same set across multiple days, continuity must be acknowledged.
5) Costume and makeup
The costume and makeup in a production is particularly important as it adds to characterisation and the tone of the plot. For example in horror films different shades of whites and greys are often used in makeup and costumes to be contrasted with dark omnious colours. The brighter colours are overwhelmed by these dark colours in the costuming and makeup to highlight the darker colours in the costumes and makeup.
6) Props
Props are involved in the set and production design. They are objects which are relevant to and add to the plot of the story
7) Lighting
There are multiple types of lighting available in the mise en scene area of a production:
a) Available - refers to a source of light that is not provided by photographers for the purpose of a photo. The light source is natural (sunlight or moonlight) and is usually used to highlight dark tones or shadows. This natural light cannot be controlled or manipulated and therefor may not be as effectively. Outside scenes use this type of lighting the most however it is also available for indoor scenes with a set that has a clear light souce for example a window or skylight
b) Artifical - the deliberate use of light for aesthetic purposes or visual effect. Artificial light sources are powered by electricity or battery for example lamps, lighting fixtures or decorative, festive lights. Artificial lights are commonly used in the production process of films, television and particularly in theatre through the stage lights.
c) Key - is the first and most important lighting a photographer or camera operator will use. Key lighting is used to highlight the form or shape of a subject. Low-key lighting uses darker tones perhaps in scenes with a sinister tone. To achieve high-key lighting artificial lights are commonly used as lighting tools can be controlled and manipulating
d) Fill - a light used to make shadows softer or more noticeable. It is also used to reduce the contrast of a scene to match the dynamic range. This is similar to key lighting however key lighting is used most in black and white films or television shows. Fill lighting emphasises the shadows without overwhelming the colour of the shot
