The scene establishes the detectives interviewing a female suspect from a working-class background. Mise-en-scene contrasts the detectives' sophisticated attire with the suspect's tattoos, hoodie, and cigarettes, signifying differences in social class. Camera shots emphasize this divide, with low angles making the detectives appear taller and looking down on the suspect. Diegetic sound adds realism and tension to the interview between members of different social classes.

The sound is diegetic, as we can hear a strong wind in the background. The
sound of the wind makes the scene seem intense and bleak. The tower blocks
and houses are surrounded by bare trees and dismal looking nature, perhaps
indicating the lower classes live in more of a primitive condition opposed to the
sophisticated urban surroundings of the middle class.

5. As we see our new
female character entering
the scene the mise-en-
scene around her appears
dirty, with graffiti on the
walls – this would be
typical of a working-class
area, and would suggest
elements of a council

there is a class barrier
between us and her.

6. The mise en scene is used to show
the contrast between the social
class of the characters involved by
the costumes and the props that are
used. The character in the middle of
this camera shot is wearing hoodie,
which is often associated with
criminals and the lower class
society. This character also appears
to have a tattoo on her chest and
smoking a cigarette which are both
stereotypical attributes of a lower
class individual. This is a huge
contrast to the two detectives who
are wearing long sophisticated
jackets which signifies to the
audience that these characters may
be from a higher class.
One of the camera shots used in this scene was a low angle wide shot looking up the characters.
This makes the detectives look a lot taller than the suspect, which suggests that they are more
significant and have more power. Due to the camera shot the detectives seem to be looking down
at the suspect who is of a lower class. This could be a representation of modern society, where the
higher social classes are always looking down on the lower classes.

7. Shot Reaction Shot is used in this scene. It shows the large differences between the two
classes. The shot on the left (Mid Shot) is of a lower-class lady, she is slouched, has tattoos
and is very overweight. The clothes she is wearing are plain and she is not wearing any
makeup. She is representing the lower-class to have little care for their appearances. She
is looking down perhaps showing she has some guilt for what she has done and is lying
the police.
The shot on the right is very different. The two ladies are dressed very smartly , and look
much cleaner than the lower class woman. They are sat upright and have their chins facing
up, perhaps indicating some snobbery at the lower-class lady.
The mise-en-scene is interesting for the set is quite bare in this scene. The light in the
background could show an investigation into the class systems in this scene. The sound
is completely diegetic, making the scene tense and makes the audience focus
completely on the dialogue.
