Mise en Scene - Color and Set

Mise en Scene is how the scene is set up and how we view it. For a visual film, understanding the world the characters explore is incredibly vital for the immersion and glamor of films through the fitting settings set up with the mise en scene. It also serves as context.

1. The location affects your scene by setting the tone or context of a scene. For example, a church location would better fit a scene of marriage or confession, rather than a cemetery. It could change the meaning of an interaction of the entire scene, just based on the location's context. 

2. Colors create moods and guide the viewer on the emotions to feel. Colors such as red or black could mean a threatening or powerful scene, or green and blue could mean a calm outside scene. 

3. Sets are the backbone of creating a world and setting of a film. It is the artistic part of setting the stage of a film, even if it is just a background or a grandiose shot of a new world. The creativity of the film shows through the setting made by the set. In this case, setting means location, time, and plot.

Example - Interstellar. Notice the costume, the plain and consistent color, and the wide and barren ice land. You can quickly understand that astronauts are exploring a new barren world, outside of earth.
