Mise en Scene is the stage design and arrangement of actors in scenes for a theatre or film production.
Rule Of Thirds: the process of dividing an image into thirds, using two horizontal and two vertical lines. When you position the most important elements of your image at these intersection points, you produce a much more natural image.
Taking a further look in the character placement, it can symbolize the religious roles they play in this cult-classic. Columbia, and Magenta represent these priestess’s looking up at the higher power Frank’n Futer. Considering he is the center of the image, with the two girls looking up at him, while Frank’n Futer looks directly into the camera, helps capture the nonconformitive religious aspect of the film.
We also see Frank’n Futers, dark makeup/clothing and overall aesthetic set on the light pink backdrop. This helps display the satanic nature of this film, and Frank’n Futer himself. For the time his transvestite character was frowned upon and against the social norms. His dark appearance portrays this message. The lighting of this scene and especially this image is bright, helping accentuate the dark features of Frank’n Futer, letting him be the center and the main subject of the image.
