This is a screenshot from the thriller movie 'Taken'.
In this scene, there is one main prop used which is a photograph of what we can make out is a young girl. The fact that the photo is centred in this screenshot shows the audience that the photo is of importance and plays a significant part in the movie.
Hair, makeup and costume show that the man in the white shirt and tie, (Liam Neeson) is of a higher authority and has the control in this scene. This is obvious because the other character in the scene is bloodied and his clothes are dirty where as Liam Neeson's character is clean and tidy and his clothes are untouched.
Facial expressions show that Liam Neeson's character is angry, and the photo he's holding up suggests his anger may be linked to the photo. The fact he's showing the photo to the other character shows that he is somehow linked to the photo aswell.
Positions of the characters also show who has the power in the scene and who does not. Liam Neeson's character is higher and is standing over the other character, who himself is sitting down. This tells us Neeson is in control and has the power in this scene.
The setting is dark and looks as if it's in an unknown or abandoned building somehwere because there's no light, no furniture and the walls themselves look dirty and dis-coloured. The setting adds to the feeling of this particular scene and emphasise's the fact that Neeson's character is angry.
