Mise en scene
In the opening scene, when the male and
female are in the shop the audience can see from the start that the woman is
the stereotypical female who loves shopping, dresses etc. The clothes and the
jewelry she is wearing automatically portray this image of her being a very
elegant and petite, which the directors try to convey to the audience. When the
scene cuts to the men in the house it emphasizes the difference in gender
between men and women; the men are standing around with a class of whisky and
smoking a cigar. This again fits in with the stereotypical male
characteristics; one is wearing a very smart suit, which again is the iconic
men’s clothing to wear.
In a very short scene a man is trying to
fix or create some sort of alarm, which again highlights to the audience that
males are more likely to be mysterious and involved in crooked things; the
dialogue throughout the clip indicates to the audience that something is going
on that is not legal.
The other male in the suit who ‘finds’ the
ring is also is presented as a rather manly character as he has a cockney
accent and is wearing a suit. He was also presented as a cocky character, in
comparison to the woman who was very timid and shy at the beginning and a
nervous wreck once she lost her ring.
Finally in the last scene when the male and
female are in the café the female is in a tight fitted jacket, showing some cleavage;
this highlights that woman tend to be more of the flirtatious sex, whilst the
man is more focused on the money he earned.
