Setting
The sets are either filmed on location or are built exactly how they are wanted in a studio. The setting is one of the most important aspects as if the set or location isn't right then the whole movie wouldn't make sense. It can help reflect the characters mood and sets the atmosphere for the rest of the scene.
Costume, Hair & Make-up
Just like setting, costume, hair & make-up is an automatic clue to the audience of whether the film is set in either the past or present, their status, job and personality is like. It can also tell the audience what culture they are from. It is also whats makes every character unique as each one will have a different look to represent their characters personality.
Staging and Acting
The actor or actresses is definitely one of the most important aspects as if they can't act well then the it ruins the whole thing. Their facial expressions tell the audience straight away how their character is feeling, if they are smiling then you automatically presume they are happy. Body language also has this effect because it can show if they are scared or nervous, but can also show the relationship between two characters.
Positioning
The positioning of two characters can also show the relationship between the characters. If the positioning is right then it can help to draw the audiences attention to a particular object or character.
Lighting & Colour
The lighting and colour can help create a certain atmosphere and can reflect the mood of the character or the setting. It can be used to highlight a character or object to draw the audiences attention to it. If done properly it can also be used to show a characters mental state or even make a character appear mysterious by using shading. Colour can show connotations, for example yellow could show that the mood is happy.
