Translates as 'to be placed in a scene' ie everything in a frame
Character, setting, props, costume
Costume, hair, make up all tell the audience about the character. Personality, circumstance, role etc, and also the genre of the film.
E.g. scars make a character look aggressive, violent
Costumes make characters appear uniform, drone-like, dehumanises them. Ie masks - mystery, whatever's behind it (especially an individual rather than a group) it assumes there's something wrong with them.
Black doesn't necessarily mean evil, could mean they deal with evil, do things rough etc.
Points and angles have connotations of aggression. Curved, roundness connotes gentleness, love.
Verisimilitude
Something that has the appearance of being true/real
Helps get audience into story.
Can be created in lots of ways (sets, props, sound etc.) especially costume where/when a film's set and the setting
Settings
Refers to set+location
Helps create verisimilitude as the place is real
Where the film takes place
Can tell you what the genre is
Like costume, can tell you info about everything and everyone involved
Props
Similar to costume
Can also be an important part of the story (ie Lord of the Rings)
Usually to help verisimilitude
Colour
Can be used in any aspect of mise-en-scene
Can add to atmosphere or certain ideas
Ie blue = sadness, calm, red = love, danger
Hot colours create an upbeat mood, low colours downbeat mood, muted or low contrast colours add to realism
Exaggerated ot high contrast makes film more stylistic
