Halo: TV Series
C: The costumes of the 4 characters are similar so we can assume that they are all on the same team. The worn out suit the characters at front (identified by the 117 on the suit fading) shows that he more experience than the others and may is the leader as the three followers behind him have darker suits which contrasts the 117's green suit.

L: The use of high-key lighting accentuates the way that the dimly lit day is presented. The way the high-key lighting reduces the contrast between dark and light made the shadows visible in the still photo look more realistic.

A: The placement of the 4 protagonists in the image shows that 117 is the leader as the other three protagonists. It can be assumed that they are all composed and ready for battle as they walk towards their location with weapons in hand, showing their calmness before they enter a fight/shootout.

M: No make-up is seen being worn due to helmets.

P: The only evident props in the picture are the protagonists weapons. As the weapons are being held or are on their back and leg, they are preparing to enter an action scene.

S: The setting shows a desolate outpost in the desert as identified by the makeshift buildings in the background and the sand covering most of the wall. The bodies on the floor and the flipped over the truck shows that a fight has already happened or is still happening.

C: The costumes of the individual characters in Avengers: Endgame, in particular Iron Man, are all either battered up and partially destroyed, shows that they've faced the hardest fight in the MCU. The way Iron Man's suit shows that he's had the worse out of all of the present characters, which could also foreshadow his death. However, in Men in Black 3, the use of the black suits that Agent J and K wear could be used to show that they are equal.

L: The use of low-key lighting inside the kitchen in Men in Black 3 is used to add a more rundown setting as well as making the shadows of everything in it more realistic. However, in Avengers Endgame, the use of lighting sets the mood for Iron Man's death scene.

A: The actor placement in Men in Black 3 allows Agent J and K to look superior in the scene compared to the alien chef. The movement of actors in Men in Black 3 also show the confidence and seriousness the agents have. However, the placement of actors in Avengers Endgame contrasts this as they are all placed of which they all have attention on Iron Man who's lying on the floor.

M: There is no evident make-up used on actors in Men in Black 3 except the CGI used on the alien chef. However, Avengers Endgame use both CGI and traditional makeup in order to make everyone's injuries look more realistic and Iron Man look as though he is near death.

P: There are no evident props used in Avengers Endgame (unless the suits count) or Men in Black 3 (unless the alien Agent J holds counts)

S: The setting used in Avengers Endgame is able to show that an action scene has taken place and the setting used in Men in Black 3 is used to at mislead customers in the shop in order to hide the extra-terrestrial things in the kitchen.
