Secrets and Lies

Part 12
Mise-en-scene: The lady in the scene is wearing a corset and suspenders which shows that she is not ashamed of her body and wants to keep herself looking young. This also shows that she is of a high class as the dressing gown she is wearing is silk. Her hair is rather wild looking which could reflect her personality and her wanting to keep young looking. She is wearing quite a lot of make-up which is what you would expect from a middle aged woman, the colour of her eye shadow is dark which reflects the colour of her clothes, which could be a signifier of her personality. Her body language is confident as if she is not afraid to show her body. Throughout the clip her facial expressions also appear confident. It is if she is showing that she is not ashamed to be quite a big woman, which women of a bigger size may respect and look up to. In the background there is a pillar with some glowers, which also shows that she is upper class.
Sound and light: All the sound is diagetic which makes it seem more realistic. The lighting is quite dark but its natural lighting. When the picture is taken you can hear the camera sound and see the flash which clarifies that the picture has been taken.
Representation of Britishness: The only representation is that middle aged women are stereotyped to be vain, therefore take good care of their body and are not afraid to show off
Colour: She is wearing all black to look sexy and she is posing against a white table cloth so it makes her stand out.
Stereotype: The woman is a very stereotypical older lady who is trying to stay young and sexy.
