Mis-en-scene

Rose's costume is adorned in jewels which represents her class and financial situation which directly contrasts Jack's apparel of suspenders and a creased over shirt which is closely associated with lower class manual workers - people who rose would never usually associate with let alone kiss. The people standing in the background all have different types of costume, some dressed similar to Rose and some dressed similar to Jack perhaps indicating that societal stereotypes are not present where they are. The setting they are in is also very high class as the railings have gold ornaments on them and the surrounding wood is intricately carved, also presenting the idea that they are in a very expensive, lavish and high class setting - another thing that shows the contrast between Rose and Jack's life as this is a setting Rose would be used to but Jack would never see.





In the first scene the mis-en-scene includes a large number of trees, indicating that the setting is in a remote area. there is also a fence outlining the perimeter of the camp, leading to the interpretation that the inhabitants of the camp are hiding from something or someone. There are also a few run down houses and fruit plants that mean that the town is starting to thrive in a world that may not be so friendly.

However in the second clip the mis-en-scene is very domestic and homely, perhaps representing the only character in the clip's personality. The woman polishes expensive looking cutlery, indicating her high financial status. Her financial status could also be  represented by her costume, the pearl necklace and the apron, the apron signifying that she doesn't need to work,.
