Identify the core question

The question asks for a specific approach to Mise-en-scène that uses design to give objective expression to subjective, often disturbed, human feelings and emotions.

Analyze the definition

The key phrase is "objective expression to subjective (and usually disturbed) human feelings." This is the literal definition of expressionism in art and film, where the external world (the mise-en-scène, including sets, lighting, and angles) is distorted to reflect the internal psychological state of the characters.

Evaluate the options

• A. Italian Neorealism: Focuses on realistic, on-location filming and everyday working-class life, avoiding highly stylized design.
• B. Kammerspielfilm: "Chamber drama" films focusing on intimate, realistic character psychology, but not characterized primarily by highly distorted, expressive design.
• C. German expressionism: Famous for using highly stylized, distorted sets, dramatic shadows, and non-realistic design to represent inner psychological states and disturbed emotions.
• D. Dogme 95: A movement with strict rules promoting realism, natural light, and no artificial sets or props.

Connect to mastered concepts

Using Film Analysis and our understanding of Mise-en-scène, we can conclude that German expressionism perfectly matches the description of using external design elements to project internal, subjective emotions.
