Analysing mis en scene through a moving image

Setting and props

Firstly there are empty bottles of alcohol on the window sill and table, this representing their lifestyle within the family which is stereotypical of a lower class family. Furthermore, the un-plastered walls symbolises the simplicity of their lives and how they don't care for fancy decorations; possibly because they can't afford them or because they simply just don't care. In addition, the un-matching table and chairs in their kitchen may indicate that they are unorganised and may also represent their social class, as they may have got the table and chairs cheaper through individual buying. In addition, the house is cluttered to suggest they have little rules within the house, again often stereotypical of a lower class family.

However, the man who turns up in the suit had documents and a tie to suggest that he is of a higher class and more intelligent than the lower class family due to his more formal attire. Finally, also outside, there is unwanted furniture which symbolised they're cluttered and don't care about their image along with its impact on the environment.
