Mise-en-scene Paper  The term mise-en-scene stems from the theater, relating to how directors might arrange elements on the stage, “putting into the scene” meaningful elements in a way give meaning to the work. In cinema, filmmakers also carefully orchestrate what we see on-screen, taking advantage of the four elements of mise-en-scene (setting, lighting, costuming, staging/performance) as effective storytelling tools. Each of these elements used together give meaning to what we see in the frame, and by extension how these moments relate to a larger narrative. Your goal for this assignment is to conduct a close reading of a film through an analysis the mise-en scene in one scene. Your paper should include a strong thesis statement, making an overall argument about the film. What does your chosen moment tell us about the film? How do the filmmakers use the elements of mise-en-scene to tell their story? What might the arrangement of puzzles and statues mean in ​Citizen Kane​? How does the setting of the trainyard help establish themes in ​Wendy and Lucy​, or the shoreline in ​Moonlight​? Can we say something deeper about a game of chess in ​The Seventh Seal​? For this assignment, you may can use the following films: ​Citizen Kane​, ​Wendy and Lucy​, ​The Seventh Seal​, or ​Moonlight​. 3 pages, double spaced 1” margins, Times New Roman font.
