Secrets and Lies-THIRTEEN

Mise-en-scene: A group of older gentlemen in business suits, all centred into the middle of the scene. The oldest looking one is in the middle, in front of the others, on a chair. This suggests he is the centre of attention and that he is in a higher position/role than the others, or that this picture could be specially taken for him. The suits make them seem more formal and that they either all work together or they are a family. They are all wearing similar suits with the same coloured ties except the man at the front, which would link them together and makes them seem more like brothers, than business partners. The bald man at the left of the shot, glances at this watch, shows he doesn't really wish to be here and is uncomfortable with the situation and wants it to end.

Light and Sound: The light is coming from the centre and doesn't light up anyone and take the focus to anyone seperately, so the focus is on the group as a whole. The only talking comes from the photographer who is trying to get the men to be more energetic and smile, as they are looking slightly bored and lifeless.

Britishness: Classic british working men.

Colour: The mens suits are dull, so they don't really stand out and you focus on everyone as a whole group. The men at the backs red ties links them together and adds a hint of colour to the shot.

Stereotypical: Boring, british, working men.
