The setting within this sequence is an interrogation room and office in the basement of Gotham police station. It is a naturalistic, interior location similar to that of many police dramas and films; dingy, grimy and isolated. The interrogation room has white marked walls, a dirty floor, two way mirrors and fluorescent lights. The only objects in the room are a metal table, two chairs and a lamp. It is a very minimalistic setting, allowing the audience to focus solely on the action and speech that take place. The office is a direct contrast to this; it is cluttered with desks, filing cabinets and papers. Police officers have filled the room, showing their intrigue into the interrogation of the Joker. The textures within both rooms are very harsh, reinforcing the setting as a harsh, official environment. The colours also reinforce this idea, consisting of blacks, greys and browns – a colour scheme seen throughout the film, echoing the colour schemes used in many police dramas and modern attempts at film noir. However the white walls of the interrogation room contrast with other settings, allowing everything to be seen. This could signify that all that is said within that room is truth, or at least appears to be. The colour of the room also contrasts with the characters of Batman (Christian Bale) and the Joker (Heath Ledger), the main characters within this sequence. Batman wears a very black armoured suit whilst the Joker wears his trademark purple and green suit. Both of these costumes stand out against the background of the white walls, demonstrating their comic book origins.
