Mise-en-scène Mise-en-scène is the stage design and arrangement of actors in scenes for a theatre or film production, both in visual arts through storyboarding, visual theme, and cinematography, and in narrative storytelling through direction.
You need to guide how the audience respond to your work.
The rule of thirds: The human eye naturally gravitates to intersection points that occur when an image is split into thirds. Frame your subject so they are positioned on the intersection of any two or more lines.
The horizon should be either two thirdsfrom the top of the frame or two thirdsfrom the bottom.
First is the world. We need to focus:
• Where is this taking place?
• What era?
• Future, past or present?
• Space? Western? East Asian? Steam punk? Etc
• What governs your world? Laws? Gods/religions?
How do these things effect your story?
Then focus the characters.
The assignment for this week is to draw 3 ideas.
