 The start of the clip has the audience following a group of four men as they follow behind whom appears to be a guard. The fact that the camera and therefore the narrative itself follows this entourage immediately picks them out as key roles in the story, meaning that we are therefore more likely to sympathise with these characters, and as they are shown in lesser clothing and following behind a guard, also immediately highlights them as being of a lower class.
 When the shots of the upper and lower classes are edited together, there is a notable difference in camera shots. Low angle shots are used recurringly when in the presence of the mobility, showing them on a balcony over viewing the arena, placing them literally above everyone else. These shots differ to be oppositional high angle shots looking down on the lower class men, most often in the fight scene when high and low angle shots are used to a further degree to show who has the most power at that specific time in the fight and whom is more likely to win, most obvious when the man with the trident is shown through a low angle shot from the point of view of the protagonist, when he is pinned down. This shows a varying degree of power even within the classes. The audience react more emotionally to this as the small amount that we did spectate of the previous fight was simply focalised through the protagonist, intimate close ups that contrast to the mid shot of  the other man helping us to identify with him, placing us on the same level as the protagonist, and helping us to sympathise with him as the lowest of even the lowest class, therefore making us also fear and hate the upper class nobility.
 Also, their immediate surroundings at the beginning of the clip, although a dirty, common area in muted colours much as they are shown, does differ from them slightly as they wear simple green/grey rags, differentiating them from their fellow man, all of whom wear yellow/brown colours; even the guards, whom could be considered to mindless slaves wear these colours, again picking out the group to be considered lower than even the lowest classes. When we first see the upper class, the differences between them and the previously shown lower class become extremely obvious: not only are upper class dressed in light weight, bright and golden embroidered clothing, but are also surrounded by red and regal draping material, juxtaposed completely with the heavy dark imagery now associated with the men of the lowest class, now enclosed in a dank, rotting wooden enclosure like animals.
 During the fight, the man with the trident, seemingly the current antagonist as he is the immediate danger/enemy that our protagonist must overcome, however he subverts the typical hero/villain archetype, showing us that the upper class are in fact the real enemy as they sit and eagerly await the death and bloodshed of our protagonist. This is shown most clearly when the man in white, a pure and noble colour often associated with kings and queens, kills the man at his feet, despite his tremendous amount of courage of determination still dying as any 'commoner' should; at the feet as those 'higher' than he. This man of whom was previously was shown at the top of the inner hierarchy of the lower class is now shown helplessly clinging to the edge of power, where the man in white sits easily above him, his 'armour' now simply degrading items in comparison to the power and viciousness of the upper class man.
 As they entered the waiting chamber earlier on in the clip, we can hear deep music that slowly builds up, building the expectations of an imposing climax, also anaphorically referenced later during the fight, each exchanged blow accentuated with  mini crescendo. This is most notably hinted at by the increasing recurrence of the rolling drum beat, which when played with the trumpets, as in the clip, also hint at a regal formality, alerting the audience to the fact that these are no mere prisoners, but part of something cold and calculated of the upper classes, this also added to by the sporadic and discorded sound of the piano, representing the fear and tension the men feel, knowing that they are going to their death sentences for the simple pleasure of those born into nobility.
 The trumpets again appear in a later climax when the noble man kills the man with the trident, drawn out, deep tones emanating form the trumpets, seemingly a villainous leitmotif for the antagonist, picking him out specifically and placing him above everyone, placing him at the top of the hierarchy, even within the aristocracy in which he resides.
Earlier on in the clip, when they entered the waiting chamber before the fights, some voices of the upper class are edited over, the meagre troubles of the nobility starkly contrasting the life threatening predicament the men now face. There are also some shots edited in of the nobility, so the scene cuts back and forth between the two groups, contrasting shots paired together to show the complete opposition of the two classes.
