Mise-en-scène (French pronunciation: ​[mizɑ̃sɛn] "placing on stage") is an expression used to describe the design aspects of a theatre or film production

Description

Mise-en-scène means "visual theme" or "telling a story" -- both in visually artful ways through storyboarding, cinematography and stage design, and in poetically artful ways through direction.

It is also commonly used to refer to multiple single scenes within the film to represent the film.

Mise-en-scène has been called film criticism's "grand undefined term".
