==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, what narrative functions does the mise-en-scene serve? Be sure to consider setting, lighting, costume and figure movement.
