Mise-en-scene is a French term meaning for "In the scene or frame". Also, the elements of mise-en-scene are;
1) settings and props
2) costume, hair and make-up
3) facial expressions and body language
4) lighting and colour
5) positioning of characters and objects in the frame
First of all, colour within the scene plays a massive and a main part as it shows denotation and connotation.
Denotation is the literal description of an idea, concept or an object. Also, connotation means that the audience is associated with a particular idea, concept or an idea. Likewise, colour works on the subconscious mind to create mood.
Additionally, an example of denotation and connotation is from this film called resident evil one. As you can see there is a particular wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum as the front of the cover is the colour red with faded black in the back round. Also, the bold text with the title "Resident Evil" is in white and the small text below it is in red. As red is the main colour of this front cover it shows that this film could be about several things because the colour red could mean danger, evil, love, romance, anger, blood, ETC, therefore the film is going to have a horrific story to it. However, the audience will take one look at this front and have an idea that this film is a horror because it is has the colours red and black on it and it has the word in a big bold font saying "Evil" this suggests that the film is related to some sort of danger and blood. The colour black shows darkness, light-less, scariness, dampness ETC.
Finally, another great example of denotation and connotation being used in a film called 'the wizard of OZ'. Denotation is used in this specifically at the beginning of the film as it is based on a little girl who's best friend is a dog and she lives on a gigantic barn with her family, however the film is based in a far away land that is owned by the wicked witch and the little girl who is the main character is caught up in a hurricane in her house but specifically her room with her dog whilst her family are safe away in the barn and they both get took in this extremely large hurricane and they end of hugging each other tight on a bed and then the house lands and they appear in a strange unknown mysterious land and all of a sudden the colour changes. The colours are bright and wonderful at this point and Dorothy being the little girl is confused as to were she is and her dog gets really excited. At the begging of this film it starts of in black and white, along side denotation the colour black shows darkness and lifeless. Consequently, white shows emptiness but on the other hand it could show brightness and happiness. However, when they both leave the house once it has landed the colours that appear are blue, green, red, purple, light blue ETC. All of these colours show brightness, happiness, joy, water, green land ETC. Also, there are a pare of shoes that are the colour red and the colour red represents many things such as: danger, blood, death, evil, however it could show love and romance.
