Mise-en-scene : A group of elderly men is business suits they are all centered in the middle of the frame. The eldest of the lot is sitting on a chair in front with the other behind, this suggests he is the center of the attention and getting the picture taken could be specially for him. They are all wearing formal clothing this shows that they are business collogues or that they are all  brothers and the man in the center is the father. The men at the back are all wearing red ties this links them together. The bald man on the left of the frame glances at his watch, this shows that he is uncomfortable with the situation and hopes that it ends soon.

Sound and light: The light is coming from the center and makes the men the center of attention in the shot. The only talking comes from the photographer who is being energetic and trying to build up the energy from the men who are standing there rather lifeless.

Britishness: Classic British working men.

Colour: The mens suits are dull so they don't really stand out from the background. However all men at the back are wearing red ties, this links them together by being work friends or brothers.

Stereotypes: Boring British wealthy working men.
