What is Mise-en-scene?
- Mise-en-scene is everything within the frame - setting, lighting, costume, framing and composition, colours, expression, make up.
Creation of the mise-en-scene can influence the way the audience reads the scene/its interpretation of characters or situation.
Semiology - The study of signs/symbols - helps create depth to the scene.
- Limited colour - mostly greys - reflects the sadness in the film
- Isolating themselves
- Passes grave marker - dramatic irony
- Kipps hasn't shaved - shows he isn't looking after himself
- Gravestones connotations of death
- Overgrown trees - no one else around
- Dressed in black
- Camera looking up at the house to make it look bigger and more threatening
- Camera pointing down on him through window - suggesting someone is watching him
- Dusty rooms - dead animals hanging up
- He's framed in a doorway and behind that you can see the woman in the back
