Mise-en-scene is the elements putting into the scene. According to Bordwell & Thompson in Film Art, there are 4 general areas which are setting & props, costume and makeup, lighting, and staging & performance (movement and acting). In here we are going to discuss the mise-en-scene of Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Fantastic Mr. Fox is a stop motion animated film based on the book by Roald Dahl. The film is about a fox who steals food each night from three mean and wealthy farmers. They are fed up with Mr. Fox's theft and try to kill him, so they dig their way into the foxes' home, but the animals are able to outwit the farmers and live underground.
First of all, the movie setting on land surrounding three major farms/factories owned by the three wealthiest men in town. Mr. Fox (voiced by George Clooney) and his wife Felicity ( voiced by Meryl Streep) are both young and stealing chickens together as nature intended them to until they reach a point in there lives where they get caught.
Secondly, the lighting of the film is setting which gives off the classic yellow/orange tint. With this lighting, along with the canted shots of their trap, as well as close ups of both of their faces when fearing death and the arrival of a child you begin to relate and feel for the characters despite their animalistic qualities.
Lastly, the staging and performing carry out the characteristic of the characters. Those of the characters performing very well even though it is stop motion. The character talking way and expression as similar as human, they can perform with emotional such as happiness, sadness, anger and so on. This make them seem like human instead of animals.
