Mise En Scene

The arrangement of everything that appears in the framing- actors, lighting, decor, props, costume. These are called 'mise en scene', a french term that means "placing on stage". The frame and camerawork are also considered part of the mise en scene of a movie. In the cinema, placing on the stage really means placing on the screen, and the director is in charge of deciding what goes where, when, and how.

This can also help the audience to understand characters and elements of the story. Another way we recognise genres are through common narratives. Narrative is made from plot and theme. One way the narrative is constructed is by using- Tzventan todorov theory suggests that there in some way is a balance to creating a narrative. This is done by the five stages:

1. Equilibrium

2.Disruption

3. Recognition of disruption

4.Attempt to repair

5.Resolution or new equilibrium
