Props: Even though the man with the spar looked like he had control over the situation as soon as the larger character came in he throw the spar losing control of the scene. Through the whole scene the man is rolling up a cigarette but as soon as 'Santa' goes up the chimney the cigarette blows away.
Costume: The man who was the elf is wearing the stereotypyical elf costume of the pointed ears and the green outfit. The man who was walking at the beginning of the scene was wearing all black which maybe shows power and dominant to the other characters.
Lighting: Ambient lighting was used in most of the scenes except when on the 'Santa' character artifical lighting was used to show his split personality. In the scene with the 'Santa' and the 'Elf' the background lighting was kept dark and gloomy so that you could only see the characters faces and their expressions.
Casting: Using a short actor is stereotypical to play the elf because the audience automatically thinks of an elf to be small and have quite a high pitched voice.
Movement: The large character was moving in an intimindating and fast paced way with his arms by his side this again shows his power over other characters. The man in the corner was scared of the larger character as soon as he walks into the room. The mother character came into the room like she wasn't supposed to be there, did what she wanted to do and left quickly.
Framing: When the larger character was walking up the staircase you see all the background behind him of the large white bricks and strong lighting which helps you to understand where he is.
