Buster Keaton
Mise- En- Scene
Buster Keaton used all practical sets due to technical factors at the time which really adds to the episodic feel of Keaton's films, changing sets feel more like a sitcom rather than a film.
Set in 'One Week' is it's own character it progresses simular to the character development of Keaton and Sybil Seely. In addition it symbolises contemporary factors like the progression of American convenience in products or womens right protesting.
Keaton himself has his own individual acting style aside from his sets and props. His deadpan face is a key factor in his success as if a joke is not strong enough his expressionless face helps to prompt the audience aswell as making it appear as if he is not acting rather these actions actually happening to him
