Mise En Scene: Costumes, body language and facial expressions

 

 

 

Costumes:

The costume that a character uses will tell the audience a lot about the characters personality and the way they present themselves. From looking at the manner in which the character presents themselves by looking at the Costume, the audience can start to infer about the kind of job that person may be involved with.

 

Body language and facial expressions:

The body language and facial expressions of a character are very important because they portray the emotions of the character. These emotions gives the audience a clear indication of how the character must be feeling.

These are important conventions as body language can tell you a lot about the type of characters in a film. The manner in which they present themselves or act, will be conventional to many other films of the same genre. For example, characters differ but we are aware that a tear drop demonstrates that something distressing has happened. A character's body shaking can indicate the the person is frightened, indicating to the audience straight away what the genre is.
