Mise-en-scene

Hello, welcome back !

    In todays topic, we will be going over mise-en-scene.

Mise-en-scene is the placement and arrangement of all the elements in front of the camera. This technique will be featured in my final magazine as a way to organize and arrange my pictures for the front cover and the double page spread. Mise-en-scene includes set designs, location, lighting, costumes, make-up and each element will be explained further below.

❤ Set Designs:

- It refers to the scenery the audience witnesses throughout and this helps with the location placement and adds context to the story. This would be beneficial for my cover page specifically in gathering the audience's attention.

❤ Location:

- It refers to the location and placement on the screen that sets the mood and supports any action represented.

❤ Lighting:

- Its the element that emphasizes and states the mood clearly as it enhances images and adds depth to the scene. High-key and low-key lighting are two types of techniques. High-key lighting reveals minimal shadows and uses hard light to show this. Low-key lighting is generally used in horror films and high-contrast lighting is used to darken and lighten images on parts of the frame.

❤ Costumes:

- The clothing wore by actors and specifically tailored to fit them is costumes. The color palettes should match the production design along with the set mood and specific color for that actor. This is important for my magazine as the models costume colors should coincide with the theme of the overall magazine.

❤ Make-Up

- Make-up and hair are used to enhance and emphasize the physical appearance of an actor altering them into their character. For my magazine, fashion models use make-up to enhance their beauties and create unique hairstyles for posing purposes.
