Oliver Twist:

Cinematography
panning shot at the start to show the inormaty of the situation. the close frame of the whole first shot shows that when the middle class man leaves the room - it shows him leaving the closed frame into a cooler, blue tinted room instead of the warmer, dirtier room./crane tacking shot sowing the middle class man walk across the room until he reaches the front. goes from medium - long shot into a long shot as he starts to talk about religion. The closed frame in the room with the upper class men show how that even though they own the factory, they are not actually in control. They are trapped inside their buisness, and trapped in their own gluttony. In the scene with twist, they are all shown at head height, suggesting a balance of power when there was believed to not be a balance of power at the first glance.
Editing
no fade ins and outs - all cuts, The two titles are broken fonts, which fade in and out.
Sound
non diegetic - low drones to signify the isolation of the scene they are in - has horror connotations. the children coughing, clearly unwell. The constant clanking of the stick sets the pace of the scene. in the eating scene, the music starts to build up into a higher piece orchestra, showing how the scene is building up tension. As soon as twist reaches the food pedistal, the music cuts out and ends on an echo.
Mise En Scene
Start - the dirty faces of the children. Grey clothes. Grey hats. No individuality. greasy hair.the working class being represented as children while the middle and upper class are shown as older people.
