If you are a first year film student you may have heard this word, or seen it in class. This word is commonly overlooked and the definition doesn't live up to the standard of what this word TRULY means. The definition of mise en scene on Google is: the arrangement of scenery and stage properties in a play. "the dynamic filmmaker is known for his inventive mise en scène" the setting or surroundings of an event. This tragic explanation doesn't do this word justice. Mise en scene is everything that a scene conveys feelings, colors, cinematography. This word in compass so much more then simply the arrangement of objects on screen its what the director wants you to feel and how hes doing it through the screen. Simply put mise en scene is EVERYTHING.
