This shot heavily relies on mise en scene to set the scene as being from the period. For example, the man in the the shot has a very baggy, silk shirt, with a fur overcoat, which is typical clothing of the period. He is also is wearing a flop hat, which is typical period clothing too. The silk shirt helps tell us that the characters are likely rich and belong to the upper classes, as does her dress, which also appears to be silk and has jewels around it. She is also wearing a golden necklace, and a golden bejewelled headress; which aids in creating the impression they are from the upper classes. Other parts of the scene also help create a sense of the period. Firstly, taking up the space of the table is a scroll, and on it is calligraphic writing, which are both things that pinpoint what time period this is set in. There is also an ink pot with quills in it and the chair he is sitting on looks royal and antique, which adds to the atmosphere of being in the Tudor period.
