How Does Mise En Scene Help Audiences?

• A family drama- Mrs browns boys Funny drama

Costumes and Make up as Mise En Scene

• Costumes and make up are an essential part of mise en scene – we make the same judgements about characters from their appearance as we do from the mise en scene.

• How do they help the audience?

Interpret Character

• Review these characters and annotate them with as much detail as possible.

• Where do they live? What is their name? Age? Favourite food? Do they read? Favourite film? Do they go on holiday? Are they popular? Do they have siblings? Where would they shop for clothes? Food? Do they use the internet? Are they on Facebook? Etc etc!`

Now design your own...

• Create a film character and annotate (just like we have done) – draw a picture by using photoshop and write down character traits. Print out and bring in for next lesson.

• (you can copy and paste a celebs head onto a different body for instance)

• Think about how you can use MIS-EN-SCENE to help you design a DVD menu in the future for a film you are considering to work with

• Star Wars – Dark hellish scene molten rock landscape, lava flowing every where means dark times evil ( And good barbeques). Then goes to dark black greys colours with a few white colours.
