Mise-en-scene is a well known cinematic term which refers to a list of elements & techniques used within just about every cinematic production to date. It is a French term meaning "in the scene or frame".
The elements of Mise-en-scene are the following:
1.Settings & Props
2.Costume, hair & make-up
3.Facial expressions & body language
4.Lighting & Colour
5.Positioning of Characters & Objects in the Frame
Colour was first introduced in 1904, & was added to films by being intricately & painstakingly painting each frame. Examples of this can be seen in George Mellie's work, such as "voyage a travers l'impossible".
After this, films used Technicolor which was used from 1922-1952. Technicolor is most notably used in some of the original Disney productions.
In 1977, the last ever film to use Technicolor was released, & that film was the legendary STAR WARS.
Colour has become a huge part of the film industry, & plays a large role in all form modern day media. It can be used to express various different things, including emotions. The colour red, for example, can mean danger or anger, whilst also meaning lust or love.
