Mise en scene analysis
Exploring all the elements of the
message of a hip hop production
Image: screen capture from AZ ‘The come up’ (2005), YouTube
Mise en scene qu’est-que c’est ca?
• Mise en scene analysis originates in film
studies
• The term is simply French for ‘put into a
scene’
• It aims to describe all the important elements
of a shot or sequence of shots from which the
viewer derives meaning.
• The goal of assignment 3
The five domains
• 1. setting the scene, objects and spaces
• 2. dressing the body
• 3. expressing the face and body
• 4. Lighting and colour
• 5. positioning of humans and objects in the
frame
1. setting and props
• Films can be made in naturalistic
settings/locations
• More often than not they are contrived so
that the exact meaning is conveyed
• Set dressers deliberately fill the frame with
detail to be read.
2. Costume hair and makeup
• In what ways are the body represented to give
off meaning, reveal identity?
• are there things which are symbolic?
• Are there styles of dress, accessorising that
represent hip hop
3. Facial expression and body language
• How do the ‘actors’ use their body to convey
meanings about identity
• About emotional components to what they
are doing, what they are saying, where they
are
4. Lighting and colour
• Black and white versus colour
– Black and white is particularly meaningful –
relating to realness
• Soft colours? Saturated colours?
• Glamorous versus hardedge
5. Positioning in frame
• How far is the camera from the key
object/person
• Are humans front on to the camera?/in
profile?
• What has the key contrast
– The element which receives the most light
– The most camera focus
extreme long shot > long shot > medium long shot >
medium shot > medium close up > close up > big
close up > extreme close up

Mise en scene and the semantic features of the
HHN
• 1.setting and props
• 2. Costume, hair and make-up
• 3. Facial expressions and body language
• 4. Lighting and colour
• 5. positioning of humans and objects in the frame
• How do they contribute to the narrative of the video? How do they
support the lyrics? And contribute to the construction of authenticity
•
