This first shot from Peaky Blinders, introduces us to a group of people walking through a puddle. At first glance, the puddle was very still and calm. It almost constructs a connotation of peace. However, as the group of people walk through the puddle, this connotates a sense of destruction and desolation from the group of people walking through the puddle. From this the viewer can recognsie the connotation that the people that are walking through the puddle who are, have or will cause a lot of damage and disruption to places and people who and which are very peaceful from the use of mise en scene. Also, from the colour of their matching boots, we can presume that these people are part of some sort of gang or maybe even cult. Because the matching boots are black, this reinforces the idea that these people are going to cause a lot of damage.
This second shot illustrates the image of the group of people walking through the street. We see that they are all wearing suits and hats of some sort, part of the mise en scene of the scene. This signifies their unity and, in some sense, brotherhood. We see that the character in the middle is being focused on by the camera, which suggests that he is the main character. However, as the 3 people at the front people at the of the group all have their hats covering their eyes. This could suggest the connotation that these 3 people are the main leaders of the group.
The third and final shot shows us what appears to be followers of the leaders of the group. We see the bystander in the background wielding a flamethrower, however the group appears to be unphased by the ferocious weapon. This illustrates the groups power and authority to the point where they feel stronger than what they see around them. Throughout all of the pictures, we see the group not changing their facial expressions, which are all unamused and even angry at some points.This connotation constructs the idea that these people are not the average people and are not to be messed with.
