Mise-En-Scene is everything that a viewer can seen in the shot, such as; costumes, props, facial expressions, lighting ans where the characters are situated within the shot itself, Mise-En-Scene is a french phrase meaning "Putting on stage" which is similar to everything in the scene. Mise-En-Scene helps the viewer understand the film in the sense that they know what genre the film is. Mise-en-scene also helps the viewer understand what the film may be about, before any acting is started by the characters.
It would not make much sense to set a film about the countryside in a busy city. If this is done the film appears to be less realistic than a film that is set in the right location, according to the genre. If a viewer beginnings watching a film that is unrealistic, it is not very likely that they will stayed tuned to watch the film the whole way through because they will see no point. The reason why the viewer will see no point in watching a filmed in a unrealistic location is because when most people watch films, they watch it for escapism. Film escapism is literally when a viewer watches a film simply to escape from their everyday lives.
In television shows, the studios in which they are filmed are not necessarily the same location in where the actually television show is set, this will not make the television show look unrealistic. If the studio that the television show is set up to look like the location that the television show is set in then there many not be any problems. Occasionally to reinforce the location of the television show they film crew may ave to film a couple of scenes on location, the location will actually be the location where the television show is meant to be set. An example of this would be; British Soap; Eastenders, although Eastenders is set in the East End of London the actual location of the studios are in Hertfordshire, the Mise-En-Scene used in this soap to represent London is the sound of the London Underground service in many scenes, there is also the Underground sign post in the actual Square. The location is also made to look realistic with the opening titles of the soap, they are of London.

The clip above is an example of on location filiming, to make the Mise-En-Scene look more realisitic.
