Mise-en-scene = Everything in the frame
1) Costume - choose: hair, make-up, clothing, etc. of all subjects.
2) Location - consider what image, mood or atmosphere to create.
3) Lighting and colour - should compliment mood etc., e.g. a sense of age - sepia. Vibrant energy - choose primary colours. Wealth - golds/silvers/yellows should be highlighted. Sinister/macabre - blacks and purples.
4) Props - part of the setting, these must compliment the intention e.g. a delicate china teacup is not suitable for a drug-addled rockstar.
When analysing photographs, or taking them, you must be able to explain the mise-en-scene.
