Mise-en-scene is a filmmaking element that refers to everything within the camera frame, including the setting, props, costumes, lighting, and positioning of actors. It provides visual context and clues about characters. Films like Blade Runner use distinctive settings, props, and lighting through mise-en-scene to establish a unique futuristic world and enhance the story.
