Mise en scene:

• Long shot => sets the scene 
• 2 shot => relationship between 2 characters 
• Central park => location 
• Horses and carriage => transport available at that time
• Close up => focus on one character 
• Mid-shot => focus on the character/s in the shot and the surrounding

Lighting:

• Black and white => due to low budget and technology available at that time 
• Dark, dull, nigh time => danger, crime
• The female lead's face was lit up => beautiful, angelic, goddess.
• Darkness + shadows => metaphor used to show the personalities of the character reflecting their emotion.
