Mise-en-scene: which means everything in the frame
It is basically matching everything up, so it fits in with the genre, for example:-
Costume: - Choose carefully the style of hair, makeup and costume for all subjects in the photograph.
Location: - Consider what image, mood or atmosphere you are trying to create. Select location with this in mind.
Lighting and Colour: - Again, this should compliment mood and atmosphere, e.g sense of age, use sepia, vibrant energy choose primary colours, wealth or opulence, highlight golds, yellows and silvers, and sinister or macabre, blacks and purples.
Props: - Part of the setting, these must compliment the intention, e.g a cup of tea in a delicate china teacup might not be the chosen drink of a drug-addled, heavy rock star.
When analysing any photographs or taking them, you must be able to explain the Mise-en-scene!
