MISE EN SCENE : The French expression mise en scene (literally

putting into the scene) is a usefully holistic term for those aspects

of directing that take place during shooting.

Blocking – which includes planning positions of actors in relation to each other, action in relation to set or location, camera placement in relation to actors and set

Camera – filmstock and processing, or color settings (video), choice of lens, composition, movements, coverage for editing

Image Design – use of color, depth, perspective and treatment of space, lighting mood, and treatment of time and day and place, frame design in terms of the scene’s dramatic functions.

Dramatic Content – rhythms (action rhythms and visual rhythms), point of view, motifs and leitmotifs, visual or aural metaphors, foreshadowing

Sound Design – whether sound is diegetic or non diegetic, what part sound plays as a narrative device, whether it relays a subjective or objective point of view, whose point of view it is.

Set-Ups: Three-Point and Set Lighting: Key, Fill, Backlight, Kicker, Eye lights, Hard and Soft, Bounce and Diffusion

Key Light

The key is the light that creates intended

shadows in the shot, and these in turn,

reveal the angle and position of the light

source.

Fill Light

for interiors, it is the soft

light thrown from the

direction of the camera, bec

this avoids creating additional

visible shadows.

Backlight

light thrown upon a subject from behind - and often from above, as well as behind.

PRACTICALS

any light appearing in the frame as part of the scene - table lamp, fluorescent, candles, etc.

Introduction to Basic Lighting: Lights and Equipment

Lighting Terminologies:

high key picture - this shot looks bright overall, with

small areas of shadow

Results

low key picture - shot looks dark overall with very few

highlight areas. Often interiors or night shots.

hard lighting - any specular light source creating hard-edged

shadows, such as sun, studio spotlight, or candle flame.

soft lighting - any light source when it creates soft-ledged

shadows or a shadowless image - e.g. fluorescent tubes, light

from overcast sky or studio soft light.

All this must eventually be planned in practical

rather than intellectual terms.

Type of lighting setup:

light used to raise

illumination in shadow areas.

SHADOW-PRODUCING LIGHT

Notes

favorite technique: putting a rim of backlight around a subject's head and shoulders to separate them from the background.

KICKER

Rain, fog dust and smoke all show up best

when backlit.
