Which of the following is included in mise-en-scene?

• A. Props, settings, costumes, actors, lighting, and makeup.
• B. Camera angles and shot sizes.
• C. Sound design.
• D. Editing pace.

Answer: (A)

Mise-en-scene is about everything that appears in the frame and how it’s arranged to tell the story visually before any action happens on screen. It includes the setting, props, costumes, makeup, lighting and color, and how actors are positioned and move within the space. These choices work together to convey mood, character, and meaning without dialogue.

So the best option lists all the elements that make up mise-en-scene: props, settings, costumes, actors, lighting, and makeup. The other items focus on camera work (camera angles and shot sizes), sound, or editing—each plays a different role outside mise-en-scene.
