Mise En Scene

Mise en scene is the technical term commonly used among filmmakers to describe the design aspects of a film production. Although the term 'Mise en scene' means placing on stage, it fundamentally means 'telling a story' or 'visual theme'. In other words, the 'Mise en scene' of a film production means how a story is told via the visually artful ways of story boarding, stage design, facial expressions, cinematography and narrative.


Colour (Denotation & Connotation)

Denotation
       - The literal definition or meaning of a term, devoid of emotion, attitude or colour
Connotation
       - The definition or meaning of something according to a person


For example, if you think of the word 'Anger' you will automatically think of a dark red/orange shade of color. as it represents the fire and passion you feel when you have that emotion.
