    Mise-en-scene
    Mise en scene is a French term, meaning what is put in to a scene or frame. It is made up of visual information
    in front of the camera, it also communicates essential information to the audience about setting. It is made up
    of five elements which are, setting and props, costume, hair and makeup, facial expressions and
    body language, lighting and colour and positioning of characters/ objects within the frame.
    The setting used are very rarely just backgrounds to the characters dialogue and indeed we will often see
    shots of places, without any action taking place. This can be used to influence a audience by building certain
    expectations and then the action takes a different turn, for example in a horror set in a normal city setting. A
    prop is the term we give to a object which is in the setting which plays a part in the action, rather than just
    being part of a background for example a glass containing some poisonous wine . We will be using props in
    our documentary, through the main imagine on out double page spread the girl will be giving a piece of paper
    which has nasty things written on it, implying to the audience that she is getting bullied. This would make the
    audience feel sympathetic.
    Costume plays a big part in the mise en scene, because it shows you instantly what the character is, portrays
    there personality and shows there social class. This is used in our documentary because the girl will be
    wearing old clothing implying she has given up with her appearance because she feels so low in her self.
    When shooting our vox pops we will take them out side of a makeup shop, this will mean that the setting is
    related to the topic and this also suggests we can reach a wider audience. It also shows that we would get a
    huge response from different individuals so it would be a representative view on the topic. Everything in side
    the footage will be revenant . When we are interviewing people who have been through media pressure, There
    facial expressions will make the audience feel sympathetic and realise how serious this documentary actually
    is.

    Shot types

    In our documentary we will be using different shot types in order to create a


    realistic, effective and professional documentary that will appeal to both our
    primary and secondary sources. For example in a interview we will use a
    standard mid shot in order to visually see there expressions and as well as this it
    would make the interview look more professional and sophisticated making it
    seem like a real life interview. The audience would believe they are talking to
    someone behind the camera due to effective eye contact.
    In vox pops we used a medium close up/mid shot in order to visually see
    expressions from the subject. This vox pop would mean people would be stood
    up and unlike the interview set up, the shots will be more informal creating a
    realistic atmosphere. This is because the shot is set in a public place, linking
    with mise- en-sence.
    We will also use shot types such as long shots to establish to the audience where
    the location is and to set the sene. If this was not used this could leave the
    audience asking questions which links back to Barthes theory of enigma
    codes. We also used close ups when interviewing our experts to show there
    facial expressions.
