Document Summary
Mise-en-scene: consider what is available to the directors. Over-saturated colour of the actual location makes it seem as if the set is artificial. Performance important and when the acting is very realistic it gives a very significant effect; the movement and gestures are small and detailed. On the other hand, there is the overacting, there is an exaggerated actor and it is farcical; it is utilized for a comedic effect. The mise0en-scene allows us to see how sophisticated how silent films are and the setting. Bride, groom, baby, society women and man. Not being distracted by dialogue rather relying on the mise-en-scene to keep the film going. 3 stages of questioning to ask yourself to analyze m/s: The foliage and the garden becomes part of the m/s. The husband flicks the rose with contempt b/c his wife does not have clean clothes to go out b/c she has been gardening. We understand characters by how they react to the m/s.
