L/O:To explore the term 'Mise-On-scene' 4th may 2017
(may the 4th be with you)
Mise-on-scene: A French term meaning what is put into a scene or frame.
5 Elements of Mise-On-scene:
In this screenshot, Captain Jack Sparrow is running from a tribe of cannibals that are trying to eat him. His facial expression shows he is scared for his life. The picture shows the fear the Cannibal tribe puts into people. The cloths he is wearing is trying to suggest its from the 1700s to 1800s. The way Captain Jack Sparrow is looking and what he is doing shows he doesn't want to be around the cannibals. The setting is a beach in a pacific island that is inhabited by a indigenous tribe of Cannibals.
This is an action scene because Captain Jack Sparrow is standing on two carriages that are moving at high speeds. What he is doing might suggest he is trying to get away from someone or something that is trying to catch him or maybe he is trying to catch someone or something that has something expensive that he needs or wants. the setting is an old town or city in England or some other European country.

- Match on action: is where the editors cut the film when an actor turns around, in fight scenes, opening doors etc
- cutaway: where it shows an insert shot then goes back to the main scene
- Crosscutting: where it intercuts between two different scenes that are related and goes back and forth
- straight cut: a cut from one scene to another, no transitions just a basic cut
- jump cut: where the camera can show time passing in the same scene, where something in the scene has changed but the camera hasn't moved
- match cut (graphic match): it cuts from one scene to another scene with the similar action or composition
- Fade in/Fade out: is were they fade in or out of black or white to show time has passed
- Eye line matches: is where it cuts from something/someone looking at, then cutting to what they are looking at
- Wipe: when it wipes from one scene to another with a definite change of scene
- shot reverse shot: this is normally used to show conversation between two or more people
In the beginning there was a montage of the guy getting ready for the shootout with the old people, then when he left the police station it was set out like a western movie, with the main character riding a horse an getting watched by the locals, then there were loads of jump scenes of the shootout.
