Mise-en-scene

Lady Macbeth is one of Shakespeare’s most manipulative, cruel and terrifying characters. The arrangements of actors and scenery create a special mood and it helps the audience understand the scene. The music in this particular scene makes her speech sound more dramatic. The melody is very mysterious.
Lady Macbeth is changing her intonation; sometimes she is whispering and sometimes the audience listens to her yelling.
Mostly it is deep focus throughout the whole movie scene; but at 0.53 we have an example of a shallow focus, because only a narrow range of the field is focused. The shallow focus prepares the audience for a turning point, or a key line that is necessary to emphasize the thematic meaning in the movie.
 Her face is highlighted throughout the whole movie scene to show all her emotions and reactions. It is also quite important to notice, her make up and her dress. She is wearing a white dress, but her dark lipstick suggests that she is not that innocent and pure.
