MISE EN SCÉNE: Setting the Stage, Elevating the View.
There's no denying the importance of mise en scéne in filmmaking. Truly, it elevates film from just a record of movements and dialogue set to a sweeping score to an art form with depth, greater meaning, and purpose. In a translation from French to English, Mise en scéne means (quite literally): In short, it means to set the stage! This was originally coined in reference to theater. When speaking of film, the scéne or stage refers to everything in front of the camera, including set design, lighting, and actors. It may also be used in reference to the overall effect of how it all comes together for the viewer.
