Mis-en-scene Evidence

Doesn’t move from sun bed much- lying down.

Eyes closed

Moves really slowly

Sun burnt- implies hes been in the sun for a long time.


Mis-en-scene Evidence

Location- big house, pool, has someone who’s working for him

Chains and jewellery he’s wearing

Mis-en-scene Evidence

Doesn’t notice the rock when it comes flying down- too absorbed in his own world. 

Wears a wedding ring but no wife is seen- he’s more important 

Wears tanning oil to make him look better- cares about his appearance. 

Has an icy cold flannel to keep him cool. 

Mis-en-scene Evidence

Working for someone else

Takes orders 

Prop- broomstick

Camera Evidence

Birds eye view- makes him look longer

Establishing shot of whole house

Camera Evidence

Camera is on him most of the scene, even when speaking to the other character in the scene. 

Close ups of him

Shallow focus of the other character

Blurred out in the background of the scene- less importance

Shallow focus

Sound Evidence

Dialogue- “Im sweating here” 

Implies nothing else to do but lie around

Chilled music on

Talks slowly

Sound Evidence

Orders people around- “go and get” 

Rude and informal mode of address

Sound Evidence

no one else talks, long monologue in the opening

Sound Evidence

Is ordered around

Lack of dialogue from him implies he doesn’t get much of a say 

Editing Evidence

Eyeline match- he’s looking at the sky and sees the sun- nothing else to be doing

Editing Evidence

Long take of the scenery and house (location) emphasises the size. 

Short takes of the worker, less camera time- less important 

Editing Evidence

Song ‘Sexy beast’ plays- he thinks he’s “sexy” 


Editing Evidence

All takes of him are short, not much screen time
