This opening sequence of silent witness is about a man called benjamin who is being questioned by the police for murder, Benjamin is a hasidic jew.
The mise-en-scene represents benjamin as someone who is very serious about his religon, his cotume and his plain and impersonal bedroom help to show us that he is a deeply religous individual.
Sound: When the police arrive at the house of Benjamin, we hear a change in the music (which is non-diegetic) this shows the audience that something important has happened/ is going to happen.
Editing: When Benjamin is being interviewed by the police we see various reaction shots from Benjamin to the police, this helps us to see how the expressions of the characters change after what has been said.
Camera: As the police are driving to Benjamins house we see a point of view shot from one of the police in the car looking at Benjamins house, this makes us the audience feel as if we are in the car with the police.
