Analyse how mise-en-scene is used in the extract to create meaning. Refer to at least two examples from the extract in your answer.

One example of mise-en-scene being used in this extract to create meaning, is when the officers go inside Benson's house, and we see how they are all dressed. Most of them are wearing tracksuits which can be seen as scruffy and informal. This can be used to create meaning because many criminals are stereotyped to being wearing clothes such as tracksuits and that connotes that they are who the police are after.

Another example of mise-en-scene in this extract, are the props inside of Benson's house. The main prop inside the house are bottles scattered around the place. This connotes that the criminals have all had something to drink and this is shown by the way they act towards the police officers. For example, the police have to fight with the criminals by punching some of them and also just before they go inside the house, there are three criminals outside the house who throw an empty bottle against a wall next to the officers which shows how violent they are and this could be because of their drinks.
