The scene starts with a camera angle that looks down on Pumla and the father. There baby was stolen by Tsotsi and she was shot so this camera angle makes us feel how venerable they are, it also makes us feel sympathetic towards them. Later on in the scene when the father is talking to the inspectors a similar angle is used, as we are looking from the inspectors down on Pumla this shows how powerless she is in the situation. When she does wake up there is immediately a camera shot that is below eye level and is focused on her, this helps express her anger and hatred towards Tsotsi.
It was apparent that the detectives where intimidated by Pumla and where ashamed that they could do little to help the couple as the chances of finding the baby was slim. The detectives are not very excited and do not appear as if they are able to cope with the responsibility of the case as they know what the chances are of success are.
The lighting in the room is quite bright as it normally is in a hospital. This light does not bring about a warm feeling, which is used to emphases the low chances of the return of her baby.
Pumla is wearing a theatre gown this is also used to show how helpless she is.
