Mise en scene is a French term that is defined as the overall point of view of a movie or the "placing on stage". In other words, it refers to the combined experience of what the viewers hear, see and think of when they watch a movie. The mise en scene of a movie catches the attention of the viewers’ moods as much as lighting, props sounds, and smells do. It alerts their emotional response system to a real-life setting, which is conveyed in the movie. Mise en scene has two significant visual components: design and composition. Design creates the look and overall feeling of the lighting, setting(s), decor, and actors. Composition refers to the structure, distribution, equilibrium, and the relationship between the actors and the matter around them and within their environment. The use of these elements within the movie frame provide the audience with the general meaning of the movie scene. Mise en scene also plays an important role in the viewers’ response to a movie. It affects the viewers’ experience of views, sounds, contrast and color. Some aspects of mise en scene can happen on a rare occasion; whether through an act of mother nature or by accident. For example: rain, snow, an actor improvising and ignoring the script, or an actor getting injured. Mise en scene happens in movies because the movie directors planned it before the shooting of the scenes of the movie. Mise en scene can and is sometimes used to distinguish a director’s movie work from another director's. In addition to the stress put on the movie director, each director of a new movie shooting in a certain movie genre has to accurately present the mise en scene of that movie to match the viewers’ expectations of that movie. If it's a comedy, it should and usually has bright lighting, comical things such as men wearing short shorts, or even a childish background
