Cinematography and Mise en scène

I really dont feel like doin anything tonight, but i figured this is worth putting in even if its really bad (and short).

The Cinematography in a film is directed by a cinematographer (more commonly referred to as the director of photography). Traditionally a cinematographer can affect the whole look and feel of a movie.

Some aspects of cinematography include:

-Film stock (choosing they type of film, so the desired effect is given from film)

-Filters (to adjust brightness, contrast, tint…etc)

-Camera movement (i.e. panning, tracking, etc…)

-Shot angles/types (i.e. Long shot, Over-shoulder shot, High angle shot…)

Mise en scène

At first I thought “Mise en scene” was a spelling mistake until I googled it, I have honestly never heard of the term before,, but from some quick research i got some infermation.

Mise en scene is used to describe the look of a scene, it includes lighting, character placement, character movement, prop placement, music, camera movement, what is included in the shot, white balance. Mise en scene basically is aspects of composition of the shot as a whole.
