Mise-en-scene
- How do you pronounce "mise-en-scene"?
- What is its literal definition, from the French, and what is its general sense? That is, what elements of film make up mise-en-scene, according to Bordwell and Thompson (B/T)?
- Define these terms and provides examples of when these techniques might be used:
- Three-point lighting (explain the function of each "point")
- High-key lighting
- Low-key lighting
- In the frame grabs below, which is high key and which is low key?
- In the Shakespeare in Love scene we viewed,[1] what narrative functions does the mise-en-scene serve? Be sure to consider setting, lighting, costume and figure movement.
