Mise en scene indicates what genre we are in by showing us the unique characteristics of that genre, for example in Western genre, the setting is usually in a desert, the characters usually involve with cowboys and indians, people usually carry guns around, there is always a 'hero' involved that is a loner, and the plot is about vengeance and justice. In our screening of The Magnificent Seven, mise en scene was used in the color of the costumes and the props. The farmers lived in a village in the middle of a desert, wearing white robes and cowboy hats, and the bandits rode on horses, carried guns and wore cowboy hats. From the mise en scene, we can easily tell the genre.
