The document discusses various elements of mise-en-scene in a film scene. A man's formal suit and buttoned top suggest he cares about presentation and making an impression, implying he is sophisticated. Houses in the shot are on different levels, making them seem completely separate and implying everyone keeps to themselves. A character's dreadlocked hair and loose top represent them as a free spirit who goes against the system, while a moldy sandwich and sour milk portray the country as unclean and neglected, juxtaposing his upper-class image.
