Mise-en scene and lighting

-

Mise-en scene stands for to place on stage or everything you see on screen and that word groups in many factors of cinematography but mainly settings and props, costume, hair and makeup, facial expressions and body language, lighting and colour and the position of objects and characters in a frame and these all come together to show visual the type of characters we have on screen or any details shown in character to tell their story.

With mise-en scene you can create you favourite movie genres with the key points so you can't make  a war film without Guns, Historic war time military uniforms, music from that era, a location from that time period which was ridden with battle for example ww1 the river Somme and finally wartime vehicles

Lighting is a huge factor in cinematography as lighting can change the emotional or tension of a character or a scene by just the change of colour or the intensity of the lights and they can also highlight important characters or objects by turning of one of the 3 key lights.

The 3 lights are called:

 The Key Light: which acts as the main light or the sun in a studio and usually acts as the main light and is usually positioned near the camera.

The Fill Light: which fills in the shadow left by the key light.

The Back Light: this light is used to separate the background of the shot and the subject being shot.

With these 3 lights you can create different combos by turning of just one of the lights such as Low key lighting which creates distinct shadows and silhouettes.

With lighting you can also show a subjects facial expressions more clearly unlike natural light or highlights parts of the set to draw the audiences attention

The Audience

The audience for a film can vary due to many factors such as disposable income, social class or maybe the simple age rating but one of the most persuading features to help the audience choose a film is by the ratings . The audience of a film is suggested by some points such as: age an gender working class education occupation and income  T he ratings they can be changed to make a film look good and most of the reviews usually come from journalists from the worlds major news networks such as the Guardian and the New York times and on many cases the journalists have been bribed or that some movie studios have been smart and cover up part of the star ratings on the promotional art. The audience to a film can also be affected by the viewers disposable income as the higher the working class you are the more disposable income you have and this also relates to the cinema you would visit to see a film and this is decided by the price of the tickets and of course the price of...

This scene is originally from Rouge one a Star Wars story directed by Gareth Edwards he is also known from being the director of the 2014 Godzilla reboot even though he isn't my favourite director I still chose this scene due to its use of music and the different types of shots  and the lighting  used in this ending sequence.   Rouge one  isn't  my  favourite  film my favourite film is  actually  The Hobbit: the battle of the five  army's and that my favourite scene is when  Thorin  and the dwarves charge into battle to defend the dwarven homeland of Erebor and that my favourite director is  actually  Peter Jackson because of his use of location not sound stage   When I chose this  scene  I needed to think how I was  going  to  make  this play  out  the way I wanted  by   analysing  the scene to see what I could do to make this  as close...
