Metalanguage - Definitions and Examples

Metalanguage - Definitions and Examples

Mise-en-scène is an expression used in theatre and film to describe the design aspects of a production. It has been called film criticism's "grand undefined term" because the term has many different meanings.

The overall mise-en-scene of look both ways is made to look dull and cheap so that it makes it more realistic for the viewer

Actor An actor or actress (see terminology) is a person who acts in a dramatic production and who works in film, television, theatre, or radio in that capacity
Character fictional character: an imaginary person represented in a work of fiction(play or film or story); "she is the main character in the novel"

An Actor William McGuiness plays a character called Nick that has testicle cancer which is his character in the film

Photomontage is the process (and result) of making a composite photograph by cutting and joining a number of other photographs. The composite picture was sometimes photographed so that the final image is converted back into a seamless photographic print.

Several photomontages were used in the film ‘Look Both Ways’. For example when Nick is diagnosed with cancer and also when Nick is going through the recovery phase of his cancer and getting better.
