Misse-en-scene

Misse-en-scene focuses on everything currently visible in the scene. When describing the misse-en-scene is typical to focus on several things, these include:

Settings and props
Costume, hair and make-up
Facial expressions and body language
Lighting and color
Positioning of characters and objects in the frame.

The setting is where the scene takes place and the props are the objects that are found in the scene.

Costume hair and make-up focuses on the appearance of every character on the screen, this can be manipulated to make the audience feel a certain way about a character or scene.

Facial expressions and body language are often used to express the way a character is feeling, this is used in order to draw feelings from the audience such as sympathy or anger based on what the character is actually doing.

Lighting and color can also effectively be used to reflect a characters feelings and emotions.

Positioning of characters and objects in the frame can be used as a method of foreshadowing what will happen next.
