Mise-en-scene
Set in a nice gree natural location with a HUGE house in the background. He is also walking with his horse. The character wears clean white clothing also. All of these factors show that the character is upper class as poorer people in that time lived in concrete places full of dirt and filth with hardly any form of nature around them. Also a person who is not upper class could not afford a horse or clean clothes as white as the character in the scene.
Sound
The characters are very posh speaking. Their accent alone tells the audience that the character is very rich, or is from a rich upper class family. He also speaks of a portrait of himself. A poor person in that time could not afford a portrait to be painted of themselves. The non-diagetic sound is very upper class and posh sounding orchestra music with violins.
Shot types
Close-ups of the main character filters the audiences attention directly onto the character. This reflects his personality and portrays him as quite vain. Low angle shots also make Mr D'arcy look more powerful and important.
Editing
The editing is very slow with shots lasting a long time before the editor cuts to another scene or shot. The shots on Mr D'arcy last a long time giving the audience time to acknowlegdge the character. This also shows that the character is quite important but at the same time vain.
Camer Movement
There are many tracking shots which follow Mr D'arcy as he walks.
