Mise en Scene - Post 9

 Mise en Scene


Today in class I watched a video about something called "Mise en Scene."

Mise en Scene is the placement of actors an scenery on film. Every element that is seen in the frame has a purpose and is seen for some specific reason. There are two types of Mise en Scene: naturalistic and theatrical.

Naturalistic Mise en Scene portrays the world in the fame very similar or the same as our world in reality.

Theatrical Mise en Scene represents exaggerated and unrealistic worlds that don't match our reality.

These forms can be represented by the characters, what they wear, how they speak, but also on the set, camera shots, angles, and movement. In addition to that, the lighting, makeup, music, color, and sound is also considered and taken seriously. Even the props and their placement has purpose, whether they are in the foreground or background. Everything in the frame works together to help tell a story, even the small details that no one notices, because that is Mise en Scene.

Failed Attempt - Post 25

Creative Critical Reflection 3 - Post 41

 -  How did your production skills develop throughout this project? CCR 3 - Jadan Cedeno.pptx Throughout this project, for my draft and final film production, I used two different mobile editing apps for my phone. For my draft, I used VivaCut and for my final I used CapCut. I transitioned because I wanted to used an editing app that doesn't include their watermark or logo in the corner throughout the whole film video, so CapCut was the best choice. Due to my past experience editing, using the new app wasn't difficult at all; very simple.  As for my skills, I can see my development when comparing my two film videos. In my draft, I just shot it by the textbook and wasn't very considerate of important factors like setting and props. I directed a film opening that can be considered as criminal/mafia, yet, the settings, props, costumes, and mise en scene in general did not fit the match. It's evident that I only went for the story but not the story-telling. I believe my came
