mise-en-scene

Mise-en-scene is a french term meaning what is put into a scene or frame.

the character seems to be wearing a suite which means he is well educated or has high self respect, his hair is also combed back and slick, the facial expression makes him  seem a serious character to the audience.
the only major key light in this picture is one shining on his face, this makes the first thing you see on the poster his face. He doesn't really have any blatant facial expression, his eyes are piercing straight through you he has a veryserious look about him.

The camera shot is a zoom, its just zoomed in on his face and nothing else, there are some building in the background but you cannot really see them.

The setting is pretty plain, if you look closely
you can see the buildings behind him but nothing really stands out, only him and the title.
