Mise-en-scéne

The character shown in the image above is wearing a dressing gown, hospital style and a cap of wires on her head. This suggests that she's being tested on and perhaps staying at a facility/hospital by her gown. This is reinforced by the high-key and dull-greyish lighting which you may usually find in a hospital or sanctuary. By her stance and expression she's showing a concentrated and focus in her body language with her hands on the table, looking at the Coca-Cola can which is being crushed. As to her focused staring at the can, we can infer that she is the one crushing the can. The directors use make-up to emphasise her tiredness by using eye bags and she is stuck at the facility with shaving her head. In this shot you can see the use of cans, a fridge, chair and table as props and the setting is a bland, white walled room that gives off an unsettling and somewhat scary feeling as to a hospital.
