Stylistic considerations section

Without sources, the following is original research (WP:OR):

Hawks' use of mise en scene in this film contributes to the sense of character development and advancement of the narrative. The tightly packed workroom where the professors spend the majority of their time is indicative of the vast amount of knowledge held by each of the professors. Their workspace is clearly the center of their focus, and their lives revolve around it. Everything from the manner of dress to the general demeanor of the characters afford the viewer with clues about the character's nature. Sugarpuss's original manner of dress is extreme and reflects her free personality and suggests confidence in all areas. She exudes sexuality, and begins to win over the love of Prof. Bertram. In contrast, Bertram's particularly reserved manner of dress reflect his strait-laced personality. Unwilling to stray from his work, Bertram is prepared to put off his happiness with Sugarpuss in order to complete the encyclopedia. His stiff, uncomfortable stance also starkly contrasts Sugarpuss's relaxed demeanor. These elements of mise en scene are only a few of the cinematic qualities which enhance the storytelling process of Ball of Fire.
