Mise en scene :
- Visual information in front of a camera.
- Communicates essential information to the audience.

5 elements of mise en scene
- settings & props; they set the character, you know about the character in the film almost immediately if the setting and props are set up right and in sink. Settings can also say a lot about the characters personality. Film is a visual medium.
- Costume, hair & makeup
- Facial expressions & body language
- Lighting & colour
- positioning of character/objects within the frame.

1) Costume, hair & makeup
- They act as an instant indicator to us of a character's personality status & job.
- It tells us immediately whether the film is set in th present and what society and culture it will centre around.
- Certain costumes can signify certain individuals.

2) Facial Expressions:
- Facial expressions & body language indicator of how someone is feeling.
- If someone is smiling broadly we assume they are happy.

Spider man deconstructing image:
  Very romantic, her position shows she's taking control, and because he is spider man and undefeated it makes her position stronger. He is hanging upside down with her hands on his face. It shows that she is spider mans only weakness.
