This is a two-person mid-shot. However, there is selective focus on the man on the left, which shows the viewer that the other character is irrelevant to the storyline. The main character in this scene, Lorne Malvo, is wearing a medical uniform, showing that he has entered the medical profession. His hair has turned grey to reflect on the passing of time that has occurred; however, it is more likely that the character has dyed it this colour for a more sinister purpose. Their face is kindly, but again this is just the character performing to achieve a more sinister purpose.
The camera continuously tracks Malvo, as he is an important character. The colour red is very prominent in this scene, which could reflect upon the character's violent nature.
The lighting is low-key, which turns Malvo into a shadow. This signifies the darkness of the character, and the bodies that are visible behind him reinforces this. The blood splatters behind form the shape of wings, like an angel's. This could signify that Malvo is like the devil, who was a fallen angel. The contrast between light and dark here could also signify that despite all the good in the world, evil will also be prominent and waiting to strike.
This is a two-person medium close-up. The character on the right (Lester) is wearing a dark jacket and gloves. The darkness of the jacket could signify the underlying darkness of the character, and the gloves could represent his hidden secrets. His wife, on the other hand, is wearing a white jacket, showing she is innocent in the events.
The colour white is prominent in this scene. This could signify Lester's new beginning. However, the cold colours and shadows could represent that the darkness of his past is still there, lurking.
