Research: Mise en Scene

What is mise en scene?

Mise en scene refers to almost everything that goes into the composition of the shot, including the composition itself: framing, movement of the camera and characters, lighting, set design and general visual environment, even sound as it helps elaborate the composition.

 

The mise en scene in this trailer suggests that this film is a horror/thriller.

The shaky camera movements suggests the tension of the scene and also the fear of the characters again further suggesting horror. Also, this is enhanced with the fast movement of the cuts working like a montage, it builds up more tension, exciting the audience. With the fast paced cutting it improves this film as a thriller.

The camera movement also makes the audience feel like they are there experiencing what is happening in the film. The darkness of the setting in this trailer creates a dark atmosphere further implying that this is a horror.
