Mise-en-Scene In My Thriller

It is extremely important to get the mise-en-scene of my thriller completely right otherwise the audience will not believe what they see is 100% believable and will therefore lose interest. 


For example, famously from the film 'Gladiator' there is a member of the crew in one of the shots wearing a pair of blue jeans, as shown here: 




The name given to mise-en-scene when it reflects real life in an almost completely believable way is, 'verisimilitude'. This is a key component for the audience to be captivated by suspended disbelief. 


It is therefore important to research into costumes, props, lighting (of characters and sets), sets and/or locations.
