Mise-en-scène |ˌmēz ˌä n ˈsen|is a French
term and originates in the theater. It means, literally, "put in the scene." For film, it has a broader meaning, and refers to almost everything that goes into the composition of the shot, including the composition itself: framing, movement of the camera and characters, lighting, set design and gen- eral visual environment, even sound as it helps elaborate the composition.
