From L.A. Confidential
From Double Indemnity
Mise-en-scene = the staging of the scene
In these two shots, we clearly have a women in the middle of the shot. Both shots are full shots to show the surroundings of the characters and establish a setting. In L.A. Confidential, as Ms. Lynn is lifting up the screen, we can kinda see a room behind the current shot. This is also seen in the shot from Double Indemnity. This is using some of the Noir characteristics. Both females are also wearing a white dress. If I didn't know these shots were from two different movies, I could have thought it was from the same movie and the LA Confidential shot comes after the Double Indemnity because both are blonde females with white dresses, and the staging and set look kinda the same! I see a lot of similarities in the mise-en-scene of these shots.
