Analysis of Mise-en-scene

Mise-en-scene - Everything thats in the shot

Setting - gives us information about genre, time scale, regional information (rural/urban etc), class of the characters (rich/poor).
Props (properties) - Gives us a clue about something/what is going to happen. Also helps you read into the characters' background (wealth, interest, occupation etc) /context. 
Lighting - High key lighting = very soft/shadowless. Often used with light skinned people, light skinned clothing - Unthreatening/soft/romantic.
                - Low Key lighting = much darker. More aggressive/masculine/dingy. Make us feel   unsettled.
Costume - Can reveal era/time period/occupation/class(wealth)/sexuality
