Did you see the "Ten Commandments" for film director?

This checklist is endless, kids. In fact, there are several of them (look at the Editing, for example). I think I will die before I can finish it. I do not want to die doing it.

Mise-en-Scene

Mise-en-Scene: What is put in the scene: The theatrics of space as that space is created for the camera. The staging of the shots.
All properties independent of: camera position, camera movement, and editing(for its own sake). Includes: lighting, costume, acting style, sets. (editing for the effect of the scene NOT for the edit itself)

Setting and sets: reality, documentary, fabricated

Costumes

Lighting

Quality of acting

Balance of character to scene or space

[ ... ]

Questions for analyzing mise-en-scene:

Do the objects and props in the setting, whether natural or created have special significance that relates to the characters or the story?

Does the arrangement of objects, props, and characters within the setting have some significance? Do inanimate objects seem to have life?

How do the events relate to the spaces in which they occur? (E.g. Does a catastrophe only occur in the city scenes?) Relate this to the overall effect not just to those specific scenes.
