Comparison of two great directorsI. IntroductionWhat is mise en scene?When we talk about cinema today, mise en scene is a well-used term. If you want to translate it, I think the best translation would be “set in scene”. Mise-en-scene generally means everything in the shot, everything that the camera shows. Mise en scene concerns the setting of the film, everything visible in front of the camera and all its design included; trim, music, clothing, environment, camera movements, makeup, etc. Every director in the world uses their own techniques when making films, and it is very common for a director to become famous and known just because of that; their own style of filmmaking. As directors around the world work in different ways and use their own particular style, they also use "mise en scene" in different ways.

Polanski and Almodovar?To begin with, these two directors use mise-en-scène in different ways. Polanski uses point of view and likes his characters to be isolated or trapped. He shoots a lot of scenes through windows and doors to give the audience a sense of this; isolation. He wants the viewer to feel the same emotions as the characters in the film, to create sympathy with the viewer. Almodovar however expresses his emotions with the colors red and blue. He often has beautiful women in his films and has a weakness for beautiful costumes. Speaking of themes, Polanski's main theme in the film is human isolation, and most of his films are quite sad and about lonely people. Almodovar's themes are more about human chemistry, relationships between different people and families. Sexuality and desire are important in Almodovar's films.
