Preliminary Exercise 3: What is Mise en scene?

 Introduction

    Mise en scene is the setting or scenery of a scene in a film. The purpose of mise en scene is to communicate the meaning to the audience about its characters, their lives, and the world around them. And the elements of mise en scene are setting, acting, costume, hair and makeup, color , set design: decor and props, composition, and lighting. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has many elements of mise en scene within its film which gives off a message of that nothing and nobody can be perfect and the tone of the movie is both exciting and sad which is the same with the mood. The understanding of Mise en scene is important in a film because it makes the film's genre more of its own in a way and to give the audience a message.

Reflection

    I have created a presentation on mise ens scene and my purpose for making it is to get a better understanding of what it is and examples of how to use it. I have worked on laptop to create this presentation. I have mainly used the tools powerpoint provided to make this presentation also goggle images and when it comes to using these I am at least an intermediate. What I learned in this exercise is the elements of mise en scene and how identify them in film.
