Mise-en-Scene

 MISE-EN-SCENE 

Although I was absent, when the majority of lesson was taught on Mise-en-Scene. I knew the meaning. Mise-en-scene means everything you see on screen and everything that is on the screen was there for a purpose. I understood that everything that was put on screen was there to make the viewer feel a certain way, it created a mood for the viewer. Mise-en-Scene also includes the props, lighting, costumes, design, and even make up, that play a huge role in a movies meaning as well as the audiences mood and reaction towards the film. 

The project on "Photography Mini Project", really helped me understand the elements of Mise-en-Scene a little bit more. 

This is the photo that I took, Using the elements of Mise-en-Scene:

This project was very fun to do. I really enjoyed it. I was able to play around with the lighting of the photo, adjusting the temperature, and exposure. I was also able, to kind of capture like an illusion, that my subject was jumping into the jar. I had to lay down on the driveway and with my phone create a low angle shot, making my subject look a lot smaller than the jar. I then placed the jar close to my phone, to make the illusion that the jar was bigger that my subject. The only thing that I would change about this photo would be the setting, I feel like if I was to do this in another setting, it would be more meaningful. Although, I do think I did a pretty good job!
