Mise-en-scene refers to everything that appears in front of the camera, including costumes, makeup, sets, props, and actors' positioning. It establishes important visual elements like time period, location, and tone. Setting is particularly important as it provides context for the audience and influences genre. Props are carefully chosen to advance the plot and avoid anachronisms. Costumes, hair, and makeup reveal characters' personalities, social statuses, and group affiliations. Facial expressions and body language convey emotions and how characters relate to one another. Positioning and use of space within the frame also communicate information to viewers.

7. PROPS
Props are used very specifically in films because if the wrong prop is used it
could give the film a different meaning so if you was filming a 1980 football
film you wouldn't’t want a cast member turning up in a 1990+ football shirt so
the use of the right prop is crucial. Props can also be used to symbolize
certain things for example in castaway tom hanks uses a beach volleyball with
a face painted with blood as his friend as he is alone so some props are used
more than others as in some films props you think would be used do not end
up being used like weapons or clothing. Props what people don’t think should
be in that certain film are sometimes the ones that are used most.
