Mise-en-scene refers to everything presented to the viewer within the frame of a shot. There are six key areas of mise-en-scene: color, costume, props, set/location, blocking/performance, and lighting. Color, costume, and lighting can be used to convey specific meanings and set the mood. Costume especially provides clues about a character's identity, personality, and social class. Props must be chosen carefully to advance the story and influence how actors use them in a scene. Blocking determines the positioning and movement of actors, while performance covers gestures and expressions. Lighting, whether low key, high key, or ambient, also impacts the dramatic tone.
