Mock Practice:
In the scene, I will be talking about
how age is being presented in this clip. I will be talking about the camera,
sound, editing and mise-en-scene
There are many angles shots that were
taken as at the start of the scene there was a long shot of them taking things
into a van and then turned into a close up. There was many angle positions
being shown, there was a pan which was slowly revealing the place where they
are and it grabs the protagonist attention. Every time someone talks the angle
movement changes, for example when the man was talking to the girl the camera
angle would change and show you there faces whilst they are talking which is an
over the shoulder shot, furthermore when talking to the girl there was a part
where the camera was looking below him.
The editing where a range as they
would cut from one scene to another and back to the other scene to get the
protagonist a different range of views towards what is going to happen, which
is going to happen which it is a Alta-way as it is showing you a range of
scenes. There were quite some transitions as it would go from one place to
another.
The age demonstrates that there are a
range of ages in the clip, but there are more people with the age of 20 to 30
and there is only one girl which is the youngest in the clip. Which invites the
audience to think that there is a range of ages in the clip. Nevertheless, the
ages that are most likely to have been shown were older people because the scene
looks like that it is base in a small village and are working on creating a
building. The ladies are moving the stuff from one place to another but the men
are building stuff, which shows that this is stereotypical because men were
supposed to do the work and the ladies are meant to be doing less work.
There are sound effects that bare
included which makes it more dramatic and adds tension to the clip, there is
also music being played in the background whilst people are working which makes
it more fun and gives it a different type of affect towards the clip. Also when
they are talking the music goes quieter and it is the diegetic sound which
creates this effect. When something happens there is always a sort of music in
the background, for example; when the girl leaves the house there is sad music
playing but furthermore when they are working the music is fun and enjoyable.
The sound effects when she hits the car against another one, makes it more
dramatic and it makes it look more realist, also it makes the protagonist
wonder what Is going to happen and it gives it some tension until they arrive
at the place where there was the accident, also there reaction when they come
running over to see what has happened, they are all shocked and makes the clip
have more tension.
The props that were used on the scene
were good because they had used building equipment’s to connote that they are
going to create something as they could be making a house or sometime of place for
people to go. Furthermore, they used a teddy bear which portrays that they are
young people. Everyone on the scene has their own way to be presented
themselves, the ladies are wearing old fashion clothes which presents that this
is something old that happened also the clothes that they used in the clip
looks posh back in the days but not any more and the men are wearing farmer type
of clothing which gives an affect that they are old fashion. The facial
expressions were good because when the man said that she had to go to school them
were all shocked about her lying, when they found out someone had said “Your
sixteen” which portrays that they were shocked and didn't believe that it was
true. The make-up is all connected with what they are wearing because it has to
work with their clothes because wearing the make-up gives a different affect and
their hairstyles where all different but they were all connected to the clothes
and the scenes that were being shown and their hairstyles were antic and you
don’t tend to see them type of hairstyles now so this type of clip must have
been shown in the about the 90’s but now the hairstyle’s, the clothes and
make-up has all changed. The lighting was well done because they had to get
different angles and the lighting so that it would look good and make it have
some sort of tension and grab the protagonist view.
