One of the key elements directly responsible for the AESTHETIC of a film, mise en scene incorporates several different aspects to orientate the spectator and set the mood of the film. When properly used, mise en scène helps elevate the film from a series of moving images to an art form. Many different elements come into play to make this happen, such as setting, lighting, décor, and makeup which means it includes the work of many different professionals. However, it is one of the most recognisable elements of many directors' work, and the key to their visual style.
