This is one of my favorite parts because mise-en-scène is literally everything the audience sees and just the smallest details can say a lot about characters without them speaking.
Props:
• journals, bags, snacks, etc. all items that feel realistic for teens.
• Phones and notebooks laid out in a way that shows who is organized vs. who’s chaotic.
Costumes:
We’re wearing normal school outfits, but each character’s style matches their personality.
• Amara: simple, calm colors.
• Jenna: louder, more confident pieces.
• Kayla (me): matches Jenna but slightly toned down → follower energy.
• Maya: more neutral and observant-looking.
Composition & blocking:
• Characters placed in positions that show their role or dynamic (leader in front, followers behind, hesitant characters at the edge).
• Small changes in distance to show when tension is rising.
Settings/locations:
We picked spaces that look like real planning/hang out spots; classrooms, hallways, open areas, nothing forced.
Together, these choices make the scenes feel believable and help guide the viewer’s emotions without obvious dialogue.
