Mise-en-Scene in The Great Gatsby Costume - Johnston (2000) stated that the process of conducting a mise-en-scene on a film, movie, or television production should commence with an examination of the costume. This method is an efficient one for analyzing other elements of the cinematic release and establishing the framework that would be employed in constructing the evaluation. The director of The Great Gatsby understood the strength of costume in expressing the message of the film and important components and applied this knowledge to generating a film that was of high quality. In his review of this film, Stoica (2013) noted that the makers ensured that the costume used for every scene in it reflected its 1920 settings. Rather than attempt to complement the fashion style in this period with contemporary ones, the director stuck with the historical reality that was its core theme. As a means to achieve to ensure that the lack of misrepresentation of the Victorian society that was the setting of this film, the costume designer would need to research not just the clothing style but the fabric, color patterns and tailoring symmetry. The folks portrayed by the lead actor and actress were dressed in costumes that were authentic and created a connection between the film and its audience because they considered the images as true reality. Although several directors the essence of authenticity in the successful screening of their production, a significant portion fail to translate this understanding into their films, which makes it impossible to illustrate the true nature of events in the era they are projecting. Performance style -important aspect of conducting a mise-en-scene is an analysis of the performance style of the cast regarding their expression of the tone and direction of the film. The manner in which the actors communicate with each other is an essential technique for performing the story according to the script. As a portrayal of a 1920s society, the kind of language including verbal and non-verbal ones, gestures, and interactions of the cast was important for The Great Gatsby to achieve its quality standard (Smith, Choueiti, & Pieper, 2014). Also, it was necessary to use the right dialect and slang throughout the film so as to maintain the authenticity achieved through the use of the right costume. For example in the scene where Daisy and Gatsby met each other for the first time, the dramatic impression was created through the long pause and continuous stare that existed between them before they started talking to each other. In traditional film analysis, this type of moment is considered one of the reflections of the director’s ability to translate the script into a memorable performance. According to them, this element enhances the understanding of the audience when attempting to relate how the differences in lifestyle would prevent two lovers from being together. Therefore, the performance in this scene is important to the mise-en-scene of this film. Space utilization - Space utilization is an aspect of filmmaking that plays a significant role in the identification of the depth, size, and contiguity of objects and how these characteristics establish a relationship with all other components of a film. According to Stoica (2013), shallow spacing was commonly used in The Great Gatsby as a means to give most of the scenes as little framing depth as possible and create a less sensible imploration of the performances of the actors and actresses. One of the scenes where this type of spacing was used is the one involving Daisy and Gatsby discussing their separation for several years while Tome observed. The shot of the two lovers was bigger than that of the observer thereby showing the audience the context of the relationship. An additional form of spacing used in this film that can be used for its mise-en-scene is deep spacing, which enables the viewers to identify the separation between the characters and objects in the setting created by the set designers. In the scene where Tom was riding back to his house, the image shown represented this technique as the audience was able to see the beauty of the lawns and rich lifestyle lived by Tom and Daisy.
