1. What Is Mise en Scene?
Mise en Scene is a French word which basically means composing the scene. The phrase is
pronounced "Miza Sen" and learning how to apply it properly can make your videos look much
better.
Definitions
Mise en Scene has a number of different definitions. This can be confusing because film making
is an art rather than an exact science. It's also something that's much younger than still
photography, which means there are many new terms used to explain it which aren't in most
people's common vocabularies.
The actual definition of this phrase is how everything is positioned and designed in your set. It is
a theatrical term, but is normally applied to films too. The phrase is from France, although, it has
been used in the English language for theatres and films since 1833.
