| The definition for Mis-en-scene is the arrangement of scenery and props in a film that represent the place where a movie is enacted. And the definition of composition is where things are placed in the movie. |
One way the mis-en-scene is used in the 'The Island' is with the setting in the opening scene. Firstly we're introduced to a wide open scenery. The surroundings are beautiful and breath taking and full of bright colors, to make a warm, heavenly setting. It's a place someone could dream up and a place someone would wish to go to. We later find out that the opening scene is in fact a dream and the way the mis-en-scene was done reflects on this, and portraying the setting as a heavenly place gives the audience a clue before we find out. It lets the viewer know that it is a heavenly place.
One way that the composition is used is with the use of the title 'The Island'. It relates to the scenery composition. It reflects in the ocean and is bold and stands out against the surroundings, it is eye catching as well is fitting in well with the surroundings.
