The fifteen points of miss en scene

There are fifteen key features that directors tend to look at the most when composing a clip of an image which has a mise en scene. They are:

1. Dominent's

2. Lighting Key

3. Shot and camera Proxemics

4. Angle

5. Colour Values

6. Lens/Filter/stock

7.Subsidery contrast

8. Density

9. Composition

10. Form 

11. Framing

12. Depth

14. Character placement

15. Staging Positions

By using these main concepts and including them in my imagery work i will try to create images and shots at a professional standard.

I will also try and stuck to the rule of thirds as a lot of the shots that i have planned to do are off centre. e.g

I think this is an important expect of a music video as it can make the difference between a shot looking professional or ordinary. 

Lighting

Key Light

• The key is the brightest light and casts the primary shadows, giving a sense of direction to the lighting.

Fill Light

• The main function of the fill light is to fill in the shadows produced by the key light without casting a distinct shadow of its own.

Backlight

• Backlights, sometimes called hair, rim or edge lights, are placed on the opposite side of the subject from the camera, high enough to be out of view.

Set Light

• A fourth basic light, the set light, may be used to illuminate the background. Usually the background is partly lit by the key and fill lights, as well as by several set lights.

Lighting Styles

• Lighting choices should be made before beginning to film, and should be based on the lighting style you hope to achieve.

  When filming i found that buy moving the camera so that a small burst of sun would come out from directly behind the artists head instead of using it solely as a back light you could create a camera flare that looks really effective and vibrant. It also really captures the audiences attention.
