The mise-en-scene is an important aspect and part of each film. It entitles the watcher to have a more enhanced sense of being intrigued as the costume and lighting play a very big part in each film as it creates different effects of emotion and connectivity between them and the character. An example of where mise-en-scene shows effect in the use of costume is where in suicide squad 'Harley Quinn' uses her costume to sexualise herself, in the way that her costume is tight and short, as it also effects the target audience of increasing as more males will want to see it. Harley Quinn uses her costume to sexualise herself to make herself seem innocent, as knowing that full well they all know she's crazy. In one of the scenes to Suicide Squad, the lighting is dim when it is facing on Harley Quinn also, as it shows the shadow of her, which then conveys that she is mysterious in that aspect, and the fact that it is dim when only facing on her shows danger and could also connote that something bad is about to happen. The camera shot used is a close up shot, so therefore this created the effect of focusing on one particular thing, her face, which shows many different emotions and facial expressions. Her facial expressions really differ in only a short amount of time, which then makes you wonder why? What happened? What is about to happen? This creates a cliffhanger in the scene and makes it again, more interesting to the watcher. The questions of why, what happened and what is about to happen are wondered even more after the lighting is continuously dim when faced on Harley Quinn, and creates much more interest to the audience.
The mise-en-scene in Batman is very varied as there are many different characters which means many different types of costumes. The costume of the Joker is supposed to be 'scary' and make people afraid, and his actual costume does not give this effect, whereas his facial makeup does. He has blood slotted around his mouth in a line which gives off the effect as though h's face has been slit, and he's eye makeup is so dark it conveys the idea of black eyes etc. The reason this is a good choice for a supposedly 'scary' character. is that even though his costume might not scare you, he's makeup will give you an effect of past background and what may have happened to him. this then brings emotion into the film of the character and relatability. The mise-en-scene is also an important part of the film in batman by the use of the lighting that is used when something bad is about to happen, for example when the Joker and Batman first get into the heated argument, the diegetic sound is a low sound of music which conveys danger and the lighting and setting is also dark which again conveys that something is going to trigger and something bad will happen.`
The mise-en-scene in Ouija contains many different types od diegetic sounds and non-diegetic sounds that creates more than one effect. For example, when the group of friends first start to sit down and try to play the Ouija board, the diegetic sound goes from low sounds to high sounds very quickly to enforce the 'scary' music stereotype, the non-diegetic sound then is the banging of floors and creaking around the house, this helped with creating effect as it showed the characters in the film getting 'scared' which made it more personal and relatable. The different range of lighting also made a difference within the film as the lighting was always very dim throughout the whole film, even when it was light outside, as it still needed to create that 'scary' film stereotype and the film Ouija has done that very well. The mise-en-scene in films such as this are focused on more as the was the film is presented is what makes it scary, and which increases the audience as the film is portraying what it is supposed too.
