Setting can have manipulations, expressing thematic mise- en-scene. Costumes: what characters wear identifies the characters and also gives significance to a meaning or metaphor trying to portray. Staging = where figures are placed in shot in relation to others. Also choose for us what to notice in frame. Compositional balance in frame: person to right person to left, person in middle.
