Mise en scene, camera work, editing, and sound are all used to establish settings in a narrative. Mise en scene includes props and details that reflect characters' personalities and backgrounds. Camera work uses shots like long pans and close ups to set the scale and feel of the environment. Editing cuts between areas to explore multiple parts of a setting. Sound fleshes out locations with audio cues like traffic to signify a busy area or wind for a beach scene. Together these techniques immerse the audience in the world of the story through its visual and aural settings.

1. Mise En Sene:
the props can
serve as
elements to the
narrative. This is
because a knife
can lead to a
death of a
character or a
drug pill leading
into a drugs arc.
Camera Work:
Close ups and
reaction shots are
used as the scene
intensifies. This
allows the
audience to
capture all the
emotions of the
scene as the plot
thickens or a secret
is revealed.
Narrative
Editing:
Editing is used to move on
the story and change
between scenarios. This is
to change the pace and
intensity throughout the
show as the story plays
out. This allows multi
strand narratives to
develop such as a
wedding scene, a person
at a police3 station scene
and then back to the
wedding party.
Sound:
Sounds can
occasionally
used, diagetically
and nondiagetically to
determine a
story. This is due
to a big bang
could be used to
signify a gunshot.

2. Camera Work:
The camera work
allows the
audience to see
what characters are
talking to each
other. This is done
via a
180⁰/two/reverse/o
ver the shoulder/
reaction shots
depending on the
scenario.
Mise En Sene:
The props and
home of the
character reflects
their personalities.
They help build up
their backstory and
allow audiences to
know instantly
their way of life.
Character
Editing:
Editing is used to
cut between
characters in a
conversation and
depending on the
intensity of the
scene, the pace of
transition will be
more frequent.
Sound:
Diagetic dialogue is
obviously used to
allow characters to
talk and is the
primary way for
moving the
narrative along and
allow the audience
to connect with
certain characters.

3. Mise En Scene: The mise en
scene makes up everything in
a setting, from the houses
that characters live in to the
props that make up their
personality. Their houses
would be styled to fit each
individual character or family
to give the audience a direct
link to what character they
are watching. This helps
distinguish if their is a
“Guest” or “Enemy” in the
house. Usually a club or pub is
used as a meeting up point
where all characters can
mingle through their neutral
love of alcohol.
Camera Work:
Camera work is expertly
used to help define a
setting. Long pans and
establishing shots allow a
sense of scale to be
constructed where as
close ups give a
claustrophobic feel that
connotes the setting is in
a basement or shed. Or
somewhere similarly
small.
Settings
Editing:
Editing is used
to, depending on
the scenario, to
allow more areas of
a setting to be
explored, cutting to
stairs and corridors
if a character runs
upstairs or
something similar.
Sound:
Sound is used to help
establish a setting for
example the sound of
traffic and horns
signify that it is a busy
industrial area with
lots of cars where as a
quiet scene such as a
beach might have the
sound of wind and
seagulls.
