This shot is from the scene in which the main character goes to a fashion designer for guidance, there is binary opposition here in various senses, such as amount of focus they are exhibiting on their work, the amount of fashion sense the man seems to posses compared with the plainly dressed woman, all this implies that the man is comfortable in his surroundings. The mies en sane is interesting because it is clearly the office of the man, who is proud of his job and keeps everything organised and tidy. One subversion of the binary opposition is the genders of the characters, obviously one is a man and one is a woman, however, the man is homosexual and stereotypically displays excessive femininity in a calm, collected sense. This makes him more feminine than the woman in this scene, as she is panicking and thinking of giving up (typically things men are portrayed as doing) while the man is calm and composed.
This shot shows the boss of the main character as she is looking at the main character for the first time and eyeing her up. She is shown as powerful and confident. her clothes are dark and imposing, which contrasts with her hair with is bright and striking. The way she is taking her glasses off is almost dismissive, as is the look on her face and the way she is looking up from her paper, as if she has better things to do.
This shot is of the main character out of her work clothes and unwinding at home, her face is made to be more attractive than when she is at work, this implies that her true value as a person lies outside of the fashion industry. This is an over the shoulder shot, this makes it seem more personal and intimate.
