A theoretical term coming from the French, meaning, more or less, "staging." In general, concerns everything within a shot as opposed to the editing of shots; includes camera movement, set design, props, direction of the actors, composition of formal elements within the frame, lighting, and so on. In film theory Mise-En-Scene is one of the two major categories of film analysis; "Montage" (Editing) is the other.
