Mise-en-scene

Mise-en-scene is everything you see in the shot and scene. It is used to create a feeling of "realism" about the plot to the audience, this therefore makes it believable for the audience. It makes the characters seem real, helps the audience to understand who is who in the scene and it creates representations of different groups.  

Mise-en-scene is made up of six different elements: CLAMPS. 

C- costume 

L - lighting

A - actors

M - movement

P - props

S - setting

 Mise-en-scene links to realism. There are several steps to what makes up realism. 

The first level of realism means selecting the right actors, props/objects, locations, voices of the actors and the diagetic sound (noises on set.)

The second level of realism means how the drama is filmed. This will be done by the lighting, use of camera, choice of shot, non-diagetic sound (music) and the editing. 

Finally, the third level of realism is the finished "product" on television. This is when the actual TV Drama is viewed by the audience and then, the opinions of the drama, for example is it believable.
