1. Lighting2. Props and Objects3. Color4. Proxemic Patterns and Gestures
25
• Three point system of lighting
– Key light: main source of light
– Backlight: adds highlights and differentiates actor from background
– Fill light: softens shadows from key light
Mise en scène: Lighting
Lighting
1. High Key Lighting2. Low Key Lighting
27
High Key Lighting
- lighting scheme in which fill light is raised to almost the same level as key light - produces images that are usually very bright, few shadows on principal subjects. This bright image is characteristic of entertainment genres such as musicals
Peking Opera Blues /Do Ma Daan, Tsui Hark (Honk Kong, 1986)
Mise en scène
28
Low Key LightingKey light dimmed (may be moved – kick light), very little fill light, creating strong contrasts between the brightest and darkest parts of an image and often creating strong shadows that obscure parts of the principal subjects.Shadows - connote unease, sense of evil - feature of horror
Touch of Evil (Orson Welles, 1957)
Mise en scène
29
Costumes are important props. In film, any portion of a costume may become a prop.
His Girl Friday (Howard Hawkes, 1940)
Mise en scène: Props and Objects

Mise en scène: Colour
• Colour is strongly linked to emotions
•Cool colours (blue, green, violet) suggest calm
•Warm colours (red, yellow, orange) suggest aggression and violence
31
• The relationships between the organisms in a space are called Proxemic Patterns.
• The proxemic pattern is determined by distance and may be Intimate (touching – ½ m away), Personal (½ m – 1m) , Social (1m – 4m), or Public (greater than 4m distance).
