 Using Mise-en-scene

Description

Mise-en-scene is the stage design and arrangement of actors in scenes for a theatre or film production, both in visual arts through storyboarding, visual theme, and cinematography, and in narrative storytelling through direction. Of course, many different factors contribute to the visuals, the setting, decor, lighting, depth of space, and costumes and makeup, to name only a few; but together, they comprise the mise en scene.

  1. Setting is the place or type of surroundings where something is positioned or where an event takes place.
  2. Decor is the furnishing and decoration of a room.
  3. Lighting is the arrangement or effect of lights.
  4. Depth of space is the area within, around, above or below an object or objects. It is important to creating and understanding both two dimensional or three dimensional works of art. 
  5. Costumes are one of many tools the director has to tell the story. Costumes communicate the details of a character's personality to the audience. Makeup brings realism to characters & actions. Whether playing a sci-fi hero or an average person, most actors are required to wear makeup on screen. Makeup helps even out skin tones for the camera and adds realism to what's depicted on screen.

 #2. What was the inspiration behind your blog/magazine? When I first started out creating my blog, I was stuck on what I should do. I wasn't sure that I would be able to come up with something that I could work on throughout the course of this class. So I started to think more in depth about things that I like. Writing about something that I like would ensure that I have fun while working on my blog. So, I thought about a few ideas. My first idea was to actually make a blog based off of gaming, but I figured that I would run out of ideas fast. So at that point, I just wanted my blog to be something that could last long and something that I love doing. That's when it came to me, I love sports and I love talking about sports, so why not make that the topic for my blog? But when I first started, I didn't know what I was gonna write in my blogpost or how to construct them. I basically just took the words in my head and wrote stuff about sports. Although, I expected that creati

 #4. How will you use what you've learned? Throughout this course, I have definitely taken in a lot of new things in the past few months. I was tough to analyze film and media and I also learned many different elements in mise- en-scene and camera angles.  Studying film  and theater has its perks, I will now appreciate movies and plays even more, and I will undoubtedly see more movies than before; the visual details, and the social and political themes are all vital when it comes to understanding the world around us. Now when I see any movie or film, I automatically start thinking of hidden elements or any hints in the film. I have been more used to seeing a film and analyzing it. As I go on in life, I will start to become more familiar with many films and I will be able to learn a lot just by watching more films. This course has given me a different outlook on film making and I will always look at it in a different way. I was also tough how to design and structure magazines, but n

 #3. Who is the target audience for my blog/magazine? As I said before, the topic of my blog and magazine center around sports, mainly basketball and football. Meaning that my blog and magazine would mainly target sports fans. I myself am a sports fan and I am very interested in sports; which allowed me to make my blog about sports. I have a perspective on sports that many other people have. I am able to share a interest that many other people have, that allows me to build an audience for my blog and magazine. I want to be able to share information and statistics about sports to other people that enjoy sports. Sports fans find a lot of their entertainment in the thrills and amazement in watching sports. If thrills and amazement were combined with graphics and eye catching color, fans are sure to be interested in catching up with sports blogs and magazines. So, my main objective was to target sports fans for my audience.  Sports fans  love their facts and statistics. They're interes
