Mise en scène

Welcome back to my blog!

It has been a very busy week but I am looking forward to continue working on our portfolio projects! 

To start this week, I have decided that I wanted to do more research to carry out our planning. One of the most important elements when creating a film production is mise en scène. 

    Videos like these help me really understand the in depth meaning of mise en scène. The French phrase "mise en scène," which means "placing on stage," describes how the visual components of a movie or video are arranged. It includes a number of components, including blocking, composition, lighting, costuming, and set design. 

    When making a video production, mise en scène is essential for a number of reasons. One being storytelling. Filmmakers play around with certain components to improve the visual delivery of the narrative. Without depending exclusively on conversation, a well-executed mise en scène may improve the audience's comprehension of the characters, their interactions, and the main narrative.

    Another important aspect of mise en scene is character development. Character development is aided by mise en scène, which includes props, clothes, and the actual setting. Character motives, connections, and personalities may be inferred from the way they interact with one other and their environment or even just by the way they dress.

    Additionally, filmmakers frequently employ mise en scène as a means of integrating symbolism and subtext into their productions. Additional levels of meaning may be conveyed by objects, colors, and spatial layouts, which will enhance the plot and entice readers to read it more deeply.

    To summarise, mise en scène plays a crucial role in video production as it functions as a visual language that conveys the narrative, creates a mood, shapes the characters, and adds to the overall artistic components of the movie. It is an essential component of filmmaking that improves the experience and comprehension of the story for the audience.

    I plan on doing more research on different mise en scène elements like lightning, set design, costume design, and more. Understanding these elements will allow me to effectively introduce a story in the short two minutes we have for the opening. 

Thank you so much! See you next time!
