The setting of this extract is in one room, this is a "hideout" for the other three characters. The main prop used in this scene is the big kahuna burger and sprite. This is used to show the twist of power, the character Brett thinks that he has the power, because he is giving the money over and that he has played Marcel Wallace and has gotten away with it, however, Jules has been sent to intimidate and kill Brett because of this. So the Prop which is owned by Brett is then used to show the intimidation because Jules asks for it, knowing it is his, and Brett cowardly replies "yes". However when Jules takes it, he takes almost all of it, ad takes all of the sprite, this is showing the intimidation because Brett then says nothing.
costume, hair make up
The difference between the two types of character, the heavy business men who take orders and the ones who have no power ( power struggle ) is that the characters Jules and vincent wear clean cut suits with ties. This looks professional and confident, like any man on a mission. Contradictory to this is the characters of Brett and Burr and Marvin, because they are wearing jeans and polo neck t-shirts, almost Hawaii styled, this creates the look of comfort and relaxation. So immediately the costumes of the characters express what their motive is and also their status on the dominance rank.
The use of the setting is clever, because the setting itself is quite small so the use of camera work in this limited space works well. The use of close ups creates the amplified effect of emotions, for example when the character played by

The use of the setting is clever, because the setting itself is quite small so the use of camera work in this limited space works well. The use of close ups creates the amplified effect of emotions, for example when the character played by Samuel L Jackson (Jules) asks "What does Marcel Wallace look like" the character sat in the chair says "what", this creates Jules to become infuriated, like I mentioned this is amplified by the use of a close up.
Also the camera work amplifies the period in which Jules is about to shoot the character Brett, he walks away, and the camera tracks him, but does not move, and then Jules spins while presenting his monologue and holds his gun up at Brett, at this point the camera zooms into a close up of Jules face to show his incentive and the lack of remorse.
Throughout the scene the characters of Jules and Vincent are always stood up, they never crouch and they always stay straight, in all their movements, like when Jules raises his arm there is no bending of the elbow, this creates the look of professionalism and the effect that he knows what he is doing, and that he has done it a thousand times before. However Brett and the others never get up (apart from Marvin), they are either laying on the couch, to show they are unaware of the imminent danger, or they are sat in the middle of the room, like they are being interrogated, and when they try to get up, a stern look forces them back into his seat.
The use of lighting is quite yellow, this is to show the use of dark and dingy, like the characters that are inside it are rats. But the best use of lighting was the briefcase. Instead of showing the audience what is in the briefcase, the director uses a bright yellow light to symbolise what would be inside the briefcase. This leaves the audience to wonder whether the character is seeing money, drugs or something that would emit a yellow light, I feel that this is clever, because it shows that the endeavour of Jules and Vincent was not for what is in the briefcase, it was to show that Marcel was angry and wanted the respect and pride of knowing they paid for making him angry, this is also shown when they leave Marvin alive, to show that no one should mess with Marcel.
