Lighting as an element of mise en scene
Available or natural lighting is often used in realist films for a neutral presentation
High-key lighting is often used in musicals, comedies, romantic comedies to present an bright or glossy finish
![Page 60: Mise en scene Lectures One and Two](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5462cb8faf7959236a8b7753/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
• Low-key lighting in color and black and white is used to create high contrast and use light and dark symbolically.
![Page 61: Mise en scene Lectures One and Two](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5462cb8faf7959236a8b7753/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

High-key example Singin in the Rain
![Page 64: Mise en scene Lectures One and Two](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5462cb8faf7959236a8b7753/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
• Color can be used to create a dominant, symbolically and to set up a contrast
![Page 65: Mise en scene Lectures One and Two](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5462cb8faf7959236a8b7753/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
• What is the dominant color in this composition?
![Page 66: Mise en scene Lectures One and Two](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5462cb8faf7959236a8b7753/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

![Page 67: Mise en scene Lectures One and Two](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5462cb8faf7959236a8b7753/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
• Use of contrasting color or foil to draw the eye to an area of the frame
• What is the dominant color and what is the foil of contrasting color?
![Page 68: Mise en scene Lectures One and Two](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5462cb8faf7959236a8b7753/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
• Lens have a profound effect of the image
• Wide angle create a deep depth of field and allows for multiple elements of mise en scene
• Telephoto creates a shallow depth of field and shows a limited amount of information
![Page 69: Mise en scene Lectures One and Two](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5462cb8faf7959236a8b7753/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
• 50 MM creates a neutral composition and just like eye level angle and available lighting is often a realist tendency
![Page 70: Mise en scene Lectures One and Two](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5462cb8faf7959236a8b7753/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
• Film stock can be fast or slow
• Fast film stock works in low light conditions
• Is highly sensitive to light
• Can produce a grainy image
![Page 71: Mise en scene Lectures One and Two](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5462cb8faf7959236a8b7753/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)

Slow film stock requires more illumination than fast stock
Capable of capturing colors precisely and vividly
![Page 73: Mise en scene Lectures One and Two](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5462cb8faf7959236a8b7753/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
