DI:
This high angle medium shot of Walter Neff shows him when he first came to Phyllis Dietrichsons' house and seen her again. He smiled on her with "flirting" smile as he first seen her. His body is all in light which represents that he wasn't "bad" so far, this will change in the movie. Also his clothes are light colored what shows him as a good insurence guy, not the person that would kill someone.
LA C:
This medium shot of Bud White shows him in the police station with suspicious face. The lights are set so that part of his face is light and part dark what shows his two sides- he is a cop, wants to do work of justice but on the other hand his methods are not so much "light".
Parallel:
Both Neff and White are wearing suits what represents richer and more educated people. They are.
Contrast:
Face of Bud White is very serious on the other side face of Walter Neff is smiling and happy.
In the background of LA Confidential shot are shapes of nature, circle and flowers and the shine of sun, these all are more natural shapes. But in Double Indemnity shot in the background are just squares, right angles- very unnatural shapes.
