1. Mise en Scene
Jasper Cornet

2. Setting
Interior Setting is how the
interior of a scene is
presented to the viewers
Exterior Setting is how the
exterior of a scene is
presented to the viewers

3. Setting
Natural setting is how the camera
man sets up the picture or scene to
create more ambiance to the scene
Stylized setting is created by artists to
make the background or location in
their scene to create more ambiance to
their scene

4. Setting
Location setting is important to the ambiance of the
scene so the audience get the theme of the scene
and will feel with the persona in the scene
Backdrop setting shows the audience where
the scene plays and it helps with the ambiance
so the audience know the theme.

5. Props
A Key Prop is a prop with a
significant meaning behind it
that is important to the story
of the film. E.g. the compass
of Jack Sparrow in The Pirates
of the Caribbean
A Incidental Prop is a prop with no
meaning or what so ever and is only in
the scene to show the audience that they
are in this particular area. E.g. the boxes
Deadpool is sitting on doesn’t have any
meaning

6. Props
Object Props are props that help the
ambiance in the scene to help the
audience understand where and when the
scene takes place
A Motifs Prop is a prop that doesn’t
really has a meaning to it but it gets
shown repeatedly for a long time.
E.g. the costume of Captain Jack
Sparrow

7. Props
The part of a view that is nearest to
the observer, especially in a picture or
photograph
The part of a picture, scene, or design that
forms a setting for the main figures or
objects, or appears furthest from the
viewer.

8. Costume
A Authentic costume is a
set of clothes in a style
typical of a particular
country or historical
period.
A Stylised costume is a set of
clothes in a style that is not very
used or when the scene is taken
with the meaning that they are
in the future

9. Costume
Costume coordination is a method of
dressing actors, employees or a person or
group for theatrical productions and any
venue requiring a fully realized character

10. Make-up
Natural makeup is one of the biggest
mysteries out there, mostly because
the term ‘natural’ is used quite
loosely. Natural simply means that no
matter the amount of makeup you
apply, you are aiming to look as if you
are not wearing any at all. Therefore,
creating a flawless natural look is
incredibly difficult: it’s all about
the details.
Expressionistic makeup sometimes means
many things to different people, so I
thought I’d blog verbatim a key section
from a seminal text on this style.
Otherwise it is used to show some
emotional impression

11. Movement
Figure expression refers to the facial
expressions and the posture of an actor,
whereas figure movement refers to all other
actions of the actor, including gestures
the technique of
photographing successive
drawings or positions of
puppets or models to create
an illusion of movement when
the film is shown as a
sequence.

12. Movement
In contemporary theater, the director usually
determines blocking during rehearsal, telling
actors where they should move for the proper
dramatic effect, ensure sight lines for the
audience and work with the lighting design of
the scene.
Movement is defined as changing
locations or positions, a group of
people with a shared aim or a
development or change that
occurs. An example of movement
is when you lift your arm above
your head.

13. Visual effects
A miniature effect is a special effect created for motion pictures and television programs using
scale models. Scale models are often combined with high speed photography or matte shots to
make gravitational and other effects appear convincing to the viewer.
