How does the mise en scene help to communicate character and story? Give examples from our screening
Mise en scene reveals the story by showing different scenes and shots that tell the setting and reveal to the audience what might happen next, such as background of the scene.
Mise en scene reveals characters by showing what props they are using, such as guns, what type of costumes they are wearing, such as the colors of their clothing, white symbolizes innocence, and red symbolizes they are special and different from the others.
For example in the beginning Magnificent Seven, the farmers in the village are all wearing white robes, while the bandits raiding the village have red and blue colored clothing, symbolizing they are the bad guys.
How does the mise en scene reveal the theme of the film?
Mise en scene reveals the theme of the film by showing the audience the general storyline and plot of the film, and how the characters interact with each other. This can be seen by characters' dialogue, their attitude towards each other. For example the protagonist always shows his soft side to the audience through his dialogue.
