Mise En Scene/Location:
The scenes are very dark and gloomy. The clothes are average and ordinary looking because they don't have much money to spend on fancy clothes. Cole Sear seems to wear a pair of jeans with a hand nitted jumper. Dr.Malcome Crowe wears a smart pair of trousers with a shirt, tie and a jacket. The first location is the house where the mother and her son (Cole) live. It's an old house that has been turned in to a block of flats and they live on the ground floor. Inside their small house it is very ordinary and plain and it's loction outside is very grotty. The lighting is very dim and natural.
