particular emotional or psychological response in an audience.

canted or tilt.
Mise-en-scene:
"Mise-en-scene" refers to what is known as "the Set", but is applied more to everything that is presented before the camera. Film makers use it to make meaning. It is how a scens is put together to make an image. Some examples are the films, West Side Story and Edward Scissorshands.
Lighting:
Lighting is the usage of light to re-create the feeling of the character and set the mood for the shot.
