Key Word: Mise-En-Scene

'Mise-en-scene: ‘to put on stage’ or ‘staging an action’: 'the elements of mise-en-scene include the ‘contents of the frame and the way they have been organised’.
Elements of Mise-en-scene: 
Lighting, Sets and Props, Costume and Camera position.'

In this still from 'This Is Enland' Combo is in a plain and dull room which helps to add emphasis to the light shining on his back. His Position shows him in a God-ly way because he has his hands out in the shape of Jesus on a crucifix. His expression shows anger and the camera is in a medium shot so we can only see his torso, once more putting emphasis onto the position of his arms. His outfit is clearly skin-head Esq which is a huge part of Combo's character and whole belief system.
