Secrets and Lies-ELEVEN
Mise-en-scene: Young boy sitting on a lavish chair, which matches the colour of his formal clothing. The lady in the background, possibly his mother, she's positioning the child to sit where he needs to be for the photo. the chair is positioned in the centre but the boy is sitting towards the left to add a bit of difference.
Light and Sound: Sound of the photographer and the mother talking to each other and the child, who doesn't have any dialogue; his facial expressions are more of a concentration. the light i coming from the centre, with it all focused on the child.
Britishness: Posh, wealthy-looking, young boy.
Colour: Dull background, makes the child and the chair stand out. The childs waistcoat is the brightest red out of the whole shot and so the audiences attention is drawn to him, and the top half of his body so that we aren't drawn away from his facial expressions. The 'mother' is wearing duller colours that are more informal to suggest she is not taking part in this shoot, she's just watching and doesn't have as much importance as the child.
Stereotypical: Wealthy, little boy
