Mise en scene! Why would you hyphenate that? Stop him.
Sadly, it must be hyphenated since this is a spinoff/spin-off of the bestselling/best-selling book in the market, which uses mise-en-scene.
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
freeze-frame technique?
That works, and Microsoft won't correct you.

You can't sneak the hyphens out and not tell anyone until it's too late?

It's a chapter title. I think people will notice.
They also capitalize Western (which some texts do), but it bugs me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Western the genre, or western the adjective?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Or do you mean west-ern?

The genre, i.e., "classic genres such as the gangster film, romantic comedies, horror films, or the Western."

Hmm. I think that those movies are about the West, so I've always thought of them as Westerns.

It's the non-symmetry with other categories that bothers me.
There's a distinction to be made between "the west" and "the West" so the cap makes sense. Is there another "the western" we might confuse "the Western" with?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'd just be capitalizing every other genre, as well, so I'm no help.

If westerns were about the west, then I wouldn't capitalise them. But it's an extension of the West to me, so I keep what's there. It's more important to me than paralleling the other genres--if a genre was named after a country, I'd keep it capitalised too.
