The castle that we see merlin in at the beginning automatically shows a rich and high status environment what with the stain glass windows and the stone walls. When Merlin enters the office he is surroundend with expensive things showing that someone of a high class lives/works in there. Merlin is wearing ripped, old clothing and looks scruffy and this helps to show that he does not belong in the castle. The lighting in the castle is very dark making the scene more dramatic. The dim lighting also gives off a more expensive atmosphere. When the lady enters the room she is wearing a purple dress which is seen as expensive clothing as something like this would not be owned by poorer people. She is also well presented and clean, adding to her status.

Once Merlin has left the castle it becomes more light and has the feeling of a more normal atmosphere.
