Mise-en-scene

Mise-en-scene, a french term that means " placing on stage" or "put in scene". I found out that miss-en-scene doesn't not come from a production term. From the research, I've found out that the word mise-en-scene doesn't came just like that. The real meaning of mise-en-scene are the result of combining different type of professional together. Some people may think that the most important part of a film or a show are the directors, actors and maybe the editor. But the make-up artists, substitute, cameraman, people who prepare props for all the scenes, all of them have a big influence in the mise-en-scene.

Break downs on mise-en-scene.

Décor referring to the decoration of the stage or sets on the show. They bring a large idea on what is the whole show or film is all about. It is very important to the directors to bring out what they mood and feel of the whole entire show or film.

Lighting stands a very strong part in mise-en-scene theory. By using different light can bring the different type of mood and feel to the audience. 

For example, the image above is from a reality program called 'We Got Married-Season1'. The lightning in the show coming naturally above to show the natural of the show because it wants to bring the feel of reality to the audience. 

Costume

Characters need to use correct costume that fits the film or the show to bring out the mood and feel of the character itself and also combining with the show or film. 

For example, the image above is from a reality program called 'Youth Incredible' from korea. The costume that the wrist or singers are not wearing fashionable style but baggy and clothes who wears while doing work in the village. They use they cloths to bring out what they are doing in the show. 

Location

Location of the scene are another important part to in a film or show. For example, the image is from a reality program called 'Giuliana and Bill'. All the location take place during their daily life. In the image above showed that giuliana is having fun playing a bartender role.

As you can see, miss-en-scene is very important when a crew start to plan their film or show. No matter what type of programs or film, mise-en-scene always comes in to the discussion first to make the whole film or show to be perfect.
