Mis-en-scene pt2

• Blocking. The meaningful arrangement of the actors on the sets called blocking. The way in which the actors are positioned can show the dominance of one character over another, the importance of family or religion and other relationship possibilities. 
• Composition. The organisation of objects, actors and space within the frame. Every frame in a film should maintain a balance of symmetry. This refers to having an equal distribution of light, colour, objects and/or figures in a shot. 
• Unbalanced composition can be used to emphasise certain elements of a film that the director wishes to be given particular attention to.
• Colour. Light affects the way colours are rendered, both in terms of hue and depth, and can focus attention on particular elements of the composition. 
• Acting.It is the actor's duty to bring his or her character to life within the framework of the story.  The emotional input dictates how strongly the audience feels about the film. Acting mainly depends upon gesture, movement , expression and voice.
• Method acting. The method actor's job is to become one with the character's mannerisms, dress ,upbringing and etc. Essentially, she or he must be that character to the point where they are no longer distinguishable.
• Non method acting is much more similar to acting on the stage. It relies on a more conspicuous approach to get the director's point across. They will overreact and hyperbolise certain characteristics in an effort to dramatise or create humour. It was more common in early, silent cinema. In the absence of sound and voice, meaning was conveyed, often in an exaggerated way, through gesture and expression.
