down and analyse the scene in detail we will over each section of mise-en-
scene and look at how they differ and why between the real world and the
grid.
Location
The Real World - What are the locations like in the real world, consider the
dirt and the coverings in the arcade and what this conveys about the location.

17. Costume
The costume a character wears will often give a lot of information to the
audience of who and what stereotype this character is, consider the use of
colour and what this is conveying to the audience. To achieve this, compare
the Guard and Sam in the arrest sequence in the Grid scene, what do the
outfits convey about them and how are they different.
Sam - What does the costume of this character suggest about him?
Guard - Consider what the costume suggests about this character and also
consider the use of colour and what it conveys?

E unemployed because their full time role is a student and not a worker and
this would also be the case with university students.
