2. Mise-en-scene is everything that is present to the audience’s eye on camera.
 Lighting.
 Costume.
 Setting.
 And Sound.

3.  This breaks the frame down in to a 3x3 grid which helps the camera operator to
compose a perfectly balanced shot.
 Usually the subject will be central to the grid. However, this is not always the case as
the subject in the shot may be moves around the grid to create various types of shots,
doing this, you will need to use the Rule of thirds, other wise the picture might not look
right, which could loose the interest of the audience.

4.  Eye room is used to give space in the direction a character is looking.
 This gives the feel of more space being used in the shot. This is also used when a
character is walking to give a feel of direction.

5.  Directors use depth to create distance between the camera, and everything that is in
shot, this in the form of Foreground, middle ground, and Background.
 This can be used to characterise characters in a certain way. For example, a close
shot of a person in the foreground may make them seem bigger and more powerful
that a person in the background, who may then appear weaker.
