Mise en-scene update.
Mise-en-scene refers to everything that appears within the frame of a film or scene, including actors, lighting, decorations, props, and costumes. Lighting, decorations, props, and costumes provide context about the mood, location, and characters. For example, dim lighting could convey a gloomy or tense mood, while a costume like a Santa outfit identifies a character as Santa Claus. Elements of mise-en-scene like location, body language, and vocal delivery also give the audience information to understand the scene and characters.

MISE-EN-SCENE
Mise-en-scène refers to everything visible within a film frame and how it is arranged and organized. It includes six key areas: color, costume, props, set/location, blocking/performance, and lighting. These elements are purposefully manipulated to provide meaning and clues about characters and situations. For example, costume can indicate social class or personality traits while lighting is used to set mood through techniques like high-key and low-key lighting. Together, an effective use of mise-en-scène aims to create verisimilitude, giving the audience a sense of realism or authenticity.
