In this still image, there are several characters in the frame but these characters are distinctly separated, which shows binary opposition (Levi Strauss) as one side may be representing the heroes while the other side may represent the villains. The separation make it look like there are two different gangs in conflict which could be a genre convention of an action film. The setting is shown to be very old and unkempt, and looks like a typical abandoned warehouse. The settings create a dangerous atmosphere which make the viewers anticipate the events that will take place here. The dim, pale lighting makes the scene look very serious and also adds to the dangerous aura given off. The costumes that all the characters are wearing, are very dark which adds to the seriousness of the overall scene. The makeup used on the actor in the middle shows that he has been injured as we can see the blood and bruises. The actor's pained facial expressions confirm that he is hurt and is also proof that the characters in the scene are dangerous.
