 Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Mise-en-scène

Mise-en-scène: all the elements that the camera captures--lighting, props, depth of field, actor movement, costuming, etc.
What does this still shot convey...

compared to this one?

Deep space or deep focus, as the name suggests, creates a sense of depth between the object/space farthest from the camera and what is closest to the camera.
