Throughout the Film Frequent slow motion shots are used in action scenes it emphasises the sheer power that the Spartans have and creates tension among the audience typical of an action film. Phrases from the film tell us a lot about it for example “Tonight we dine in Hell!” connotes violence and bloodshed as the film is a war epic this is expected. These connotations are important as the help the audience understand the film.
Non-verbal structures such as facial expressions help the audience know what emotion the characters are feeling whether it is anger or happiness. Props such as swords, shields and spears connote that there will be war.
Setting is also important in showing what characters are feel, in the scene where Queen Gorgo and her son find out the Leonidas is dead we see that they are in a vast field and it becomes clear to the reader that they only have each other. Gorgo is wearing dark clothing signifying that is in mourning. The importance of having the right mise-en-scene is that the film seems realistic and makes sense.
