Mise en scenec

Mise en scene

Mise en scene (French: placing on stage).

The arrangement of everything that appears in the framing- actors, lighting, decor, props, costume - is called miss-en-scene, a French term that means "placing on stage." The frame and camerawork are also considered as a part of mise-en-sence of a movie. In cinema, placing on the stage really means placing on the screen, and the director is in charge of deciding what goes where, when, and how.

In some instances, the mise-en-scene is designed to evoke emotions that permeate the whole movie. For example in the German expressionist film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari(1920), distorted shapes and claustrophobic scenery are implemented to disturb the audience and enhance the horror.

Set Design

The set design refers to the decor of the set, or how it's dressed, comprising mainly of the furniture, props, and the set itself. Instead of just placing objects here and there, the director must be savvy to fathom how these elements may bear significance in a deeper level, while also emphasizing themes, creating meanings, and provoking thoughts.

Costume and Make-up

Costume and Make-up can sometimes assume importance to the viewer. The producer is able to create a completely different feeling  with costume and make up.

Some genres are unimaginable without Costume and Make-up for example: Sci-fi, Horror and some types of Action movies require a heavy use of prosthetic Make-up to create the monsters, aliens and injuries that the audience wants to see. 

It's possible to illustrate passed by periods of time with different Costumes and Make-up for example the remake of The great Gatsby.

In modern Movies all the actors are using Make-up because their skin tone, facial features and the continuity from one scene to the next.

Location and Setting

The set or location of any thriller is created to give meaning to the text and the things they are taken place.

Producers can use both a constructed set or a place that really exists. 

One example for a movie were they have used a place that really exists is the Lord of the Rings, they have used a lot of the landscape in New Zealand.

Cloud Atlas would be an example for a unreal Location.
At least the Parts of the movie which are in the city are made with the Computer because its a city of the future and its doesn't exist so its quite obvious that its unreal. 
But without that technique to illustrate different locations with the computer the most of the movies we know wouldn't exist.
