Mise-en-scène: The Journal of Film & Visual Narration (MSJ) is the first of its kind: an
international, peer-reviewed journal focused exclusively on the artistry of
frame composition as a storytelling technique. With its open-access,
open-review publishing model, MSJ strives to be a synergistic,
community-building hub for discourse that begins at the level of the frame.
Scholarly analysis of lighting, set design, costuming, camera angles, camera
proximities, depth of field, and character placement are just some of the
topics that the journal covers. While primarily concerned with discourse in and
around the film frame, MSJ also includes narratological analysis at the scene
and sequence level of related media (television and online) within its scope.
Particularly welcome are articles that dovetail current debates, research, and
theories as they deepen the understanding of filmic storytelling. The journal's
contributing writers are an interdisciplinary mixture of graduate students,
academics, filmmakers, film scholars, and cineastes, a demographic that also
reflects the journal's readership. Published twice a year by Simon Fraser University, Mise-en-scène is the official film studies journal of the
Department of English at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. It appears in EBSCO's Film and Television Literature Index.

upcoming issue, Mise-en-scène
