Mise en Scene describes everything that you can see in each shot and the angle at which you see it. This includes the settings and surroundings of the shots, the props, the costumes and even some dialogue can be put under this category.
The costume and props are used to tell the audience what each character's role is at first glance. They will often include big hints towards someone's role if it is necessary in understanding the scene such as a doctor's scrubs or stethoscope even though in reality they wouldn't wear it 24/7. This gives the audience an idea of what the scene is about and helps them understand the plot.
Camera angle and empty space in shot help more psychologically to create an uncomfortable tension in the viewer. This can work amazing with horror or thriller movies to create tension using a really simple technique.
