Mise-En-Scene

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Mise-En-Scène 

the arrangement of actors on the stage at any given moment of a theatrical production. An important device for graphically bringing out the theme of a play, the miseen-scene is an essential component of the director’s interpretation of the production. The style and genre of the theatrical production are reflected in the miseen-scene. Through his arrangement of the actors, the stage director brings the play to life. The selection of a well-planned mise-en-scene is also the responsibility of the set designer, who, in cooperation with the director, decides on a definite spatial treatment of the production and creates the necessary conditions for stage action. Every mise-en-scene must be compatible with the relationships and emotions of the characters being portrayed: it must function naturally, easily, and organically.

In film-making the creation of the mise-en-scéne depends to a great extent on the camera angle and range.

The man who insatiably cries da capo to himself and to the whole of his mise-en-scene, must be in a position to desire every incident in his life to be repeated, not once, but again and again eternally.
