Costume- can reveal era of the programme or film. overalls cover in soot suggests a chimney sweep. can also give indications to occupation or wealth. especially in gender because there is a difference between what the males are wearing and the females are wearing. Can also reveal sexuality.
Lighting- high key lighting is very soft, shadowless, feminine, often used in conduction with light skinned people with light coloured hair and light clothes on. Quite romantic. Low key lighting is dark, aggressive, masculine and unsettling. Can make a character look mysterious or threatening.
Props- short for properties. give you some clues about something, Eg about the characters lives or where they are. Iconography to the genre. Things that help you gain some information about the character.
Setting- gives you information about genre, time scale (Eg. in the future, present or past), regional identity (whether it is rural or urban), might tell you about your characters (rich or poor, posh or not)
.
Sometimes accent and regional dialect can fall under miss-en-scene as well.
