  2. STARTERMise en scene What could be happening in each of the images? What types of film do they come from? Can you guess anything about the characters feelings/ personalities/ status/ jobs?

  3. Mise en scene This term literally translates to mean Miseenscene To put onstage Theplacing of a scene This term is used to describe those visual aspects that appear within a single shot.

  4. Task 1: in pairs, discuss what elements of a film this would include (5) (consider what you know about media texts like posters) How would you READ this scene? We can generally divide items up into the following: • Costume • Lighting and colour • Props • Scenery • Layout and positioning We can get information about: characters and their relationships; themes and ideas explored; we can make predictions about the plot and what will happen next

  5. Task 2: make notes of the following rules you must apply to successfully read mise en scene • There is nothing in shot that has not been considered- the director (and his team) have spent months planning, discussing and making choices about how to communicate ideas on stage... I told you...we need to film in the middle of the day to get the shadows just right!!!

  6. 1. Nothing is by chance... Many of the characters have the same pale/ neutral colours for a reason! Usually to show a common goal, happy relationship, connection... The wall paper is striped and pale for a reason! Possibly to show that they are imprisoned (bars of a prison) or controlled in some way It’s dark outside but not only to suggest it’s night but also to suggest the lady in front is literally in the dark/ without knowledge

  7. 2. The closer something is the more empowered it becomes... The director wants us to pay attention to it therefore he brings it (literally) to the front of the scene...

  8. 2. The closer something is the more power it has. She’s in the middle but they are both at the front of the stage. Is the play about their relationship? Do the other characters play supporting roles to them? The only person who’s face we can’t see is in red and sitting between and behind the two main characters... Does he keep them a part? Are they aware of his intrusion? Not at this point in the play because he’s not obvious to them... Just as he’s not obvious to us from his position.

  9. 3. The right-hand side of the screen is most powerful. As you know from studying media posters and layout, we read from...................... to................... Meaning the last thing we see is on the right...most powerful side.

  10. Yes they are further right but why are they not the most powerful? 3. The right hand side is the most powerful As she is at the front of the stage she has power and from the two people at the front, she is farthest right...she probably controls the relationship!!!

  11. TASK 3: look at your copy of the scene shown below and fill in the details as we discuss them
