Mise en scene
• Here we can see the woman who has just been called in by someone gets into a lift with
other male characters
• This again shows that women are, in that line of work, the minority
• The male characters eye line is higher than the female
• This means the woman will have to look up at the men to meet their eyes, this suggests
that men have power over the women
