mise-en-scene

  1) Denotation - In this scene you can see a scared-looking man wearing a white lab coat in a dimly - lit elevator.

2) Connotations - The setting of this scene is in a dimly - lit elevator with the lights continually flashing increasing the eeriness of the atmosphere. The elevator seems to be quite confined, suggesting that there is no form of escapism available and the constant flashing of the lights almost hints the audience that 'danger is nearby' (this most likely suggests that something unworldly is lurking around the place seeking for its prey). The actor is wearing a white lab coat - this most likely suggests that he does science experiment and is maybe associated with supernatural beings (science typically leads to unworldly things in movies). His petrified facial expression clearly reveals he is unfamiliar to bizarre/paranormal events occurring and is  inferior/defenceless to the current situation.
