Mise-en scene is an important and essential element of the codes and conventions that consists throughout the most of music videos. Mise-en-scene covers and represents a varied amount of items such as what costumes the actors are wearing, lighting, props, settings etc. The importance of mise en scene is that it clearly demonstrates the setting including the mood and tone of the scene as well as the characteristics of the artist or protagonist displayed throughout. Likewise the use and extent of mise-en-scene can illustrate the quality and background of the video. For example a music video consisting of big, extravagant costumes and outfits will display a figure of sophistication whereas a music video including an artist dressed in damaged poor looking clothes can visualize the setting being performed from a place that is poverty stricken.
