Mise-en-Scene

'Mise-en-Scene' means Everything that's happening within the scene/frame. That'll include Costumes, colour, facial expressions, composition, lighting, sound etc.
 
Opening scene: Jaws (film)
As the scene opens we can see that there's Low lighting- darkness suggests that it's the night time in the current scene. The Source of light in the opening scene is the camp fire which suggests that it's safe and warm there. A group of people sat around the fire. We can hear a couple of different sounds from that scene like music, people talking (conversations), laughter etc. The couple is sitting away from the group. (Away from the camp fire)
 
 

They move to the sea, further away. Isolating themselves. They run alongside the fence/bars/cage. (trap). The sound that we here during this shot ^ is of the waves, running and the sound of the couple's conversation. As they've isolated themselves from the group suggests that something's bad going to happen.
