Setting
The setting of a film is more important and significant than the setting of a theatre and is ALMOST ALWAYS more detailed. In the initial stages of making a film the objective would be to find a location which already exists. This location will then be altered to reflect exactly what the filmmaker is trying to portray. A setting can be used for much more than simply telling us where something is happening. It can be used to manipulate the audience into building certain expectations.
In these different genre's our expectatons of mise en scene change, along with what we should take away form the shot.

For example if we saw a image of a hill side...
... we would begin to think the setting is quite, peacefull, very agricultural.
If we saw a image of a crowded city on the other hand, our interpretations change.
We would think of lots of people, a busy , lively setting.
Props
Props is the term given to objects that are present in the setting which lay a part in the action, instead of being a background object. This would be a gun for example in someone's hand.
