Strange. I did a course in filmtheory but wasn't told and read at all that the apperances of the actors were part of mise en scène, just the settings.
My favorite example of mise en scene is in Star Wars (1977). It happens after an officer says, "Where are you taking this... thing."
"Cell block exchange THX 1138."
"I wasn't notified. I'll have to clarify it."
And then Luke and Han pull blasters while Chewbacca throws a guy. Luke and Han blow the hell out of everything in the room. The room is filled with smoke and damage. John Williams triumphant music intensely drives the scene!
I'd say the best mise en scene in a movie has to be the opening shot of Once upon a time in the west, where the three cowboys are eyeing each other at the train station. That or the whole of Blade Runner...
i like in trainspotting when mark locks himself in his room and the bed gets all huge and he starts sinking into the ground. Everything in that movie is really surreal and mise en scene though
One of my favorite uses of Mise-En-Scene is from Jim Jarmusch's Ghost Dog:Way of the Samurai. There's this great scene where the mafia are looking for Ghost Dog, a hitman. These Wiseguys are cruising around a corner in a Caddy, and leaning against the wall is Ghost Dog. They've never seen him before, so they don't recognize him, but the suspicion shown in the Wiseguys' gazes, and Ghost Dog's wary watchfulness, is terrific.
Since Mise-En-Scene is Cinema studies Grand Undefined term, some definitions of Mise-En-Scene do not call sound an actual element of Mise-En-Scene, like the Bordwell and Thompson Definition for example. Which is what I have to use for my Mise En Scene analysis of a small part of War of the Worlds, the 2005 version.
I'll be glad when you make the video on how to use the dollie. Mine came in the mail yesterday, but there was no instructions. I figured out how to blow it up though.
as long as you will be covering dollies and the like. I have a suggestion for a much cheaper, more mobile "track". basically, rig your camera stand to the frame of a bike and have someone hoist the back end by the seat so it produces less ambient noise. this makes it very easy to make shots where you follow a moving actor outdoors.
Good, but your definition fell short for me. What it basically boiled down to for me is what every filmmaker should know already, that frame composition, color, lighting, frame angle, and sound all come together to form the subtext of a film that isn't in the natural dialog. Maybe just frame composition alone could compromise several four minute film school clips.
i agree with dking987, Stanley Kubrick has some of the best examples...like in ACO where Alex throws himself out of the window, Kubrick actually did take his camera, tie it to a tether, and throw it out of a second story window.
does anyone think that the music sounds like kefling?

so um.... what exactly is a mis en scene?
cool13q 1 year ago
@cool13q simply put, its using everything aside from the explicit (dialogue and physical acting) to convey the ideas/ feelings of a scene.
so adding to the scene with set design, props, editing, camera angles, wardrobe or anything else IN the composed shot.
hope that makes sense

Is Ghost Dog a good film? I've heard about it and read a little some on Jim Jarmusch but the movie was made on no budget.

I thought it was an excellent movie. It had a minimal cast, but the acting was great, and mise-en-scene was used very much throughout the film.
