Mise en Scene Blogpost Introduction In Hamilton (2020), the film version of the Broadway musical, mise-en-scene is very important in forming the story, mood, and emotional affect.

 Moodboard Blogpost 1. My first moodboard was of a haunted house on Halloween. We first see a ghost, which is meant to show that the house is haunted as a scary spirit is present.

The first shot is meant to show the exterior of the school the main character goes to, and also shows she comes from a privileged background due to the size of the school. The second shot shows our main character,...
