The beginning of this scene starts
off with a close-up shot so that we are introduced to both of the characters. The
camera slows moves towards them to connect us more with them and for us to see
their expressions better. The shot then changes from this close-up shot to a medium
shot of half the bed by the technique of invisible editing so that we get a
sense of fluidity. As the character t gets up, the camera pans
from him sitting on the bed to him standing up and moving along his bedroom.
This is effective because we are able to follow the action closely. This is similarly used when the women gets out
of the bed- the camera pans upwards this time and follows her as she goes to
check up on the baby, again keeping viewers close to the action. The shot used
is a medium close-up so we are able to see the women’s facial expressions and
we get a sense that she appears fed up and annoyed, making us curious as to why
that might be.
We are then shown a different
location and the shot first introduced to us is the close-up shot of the
flowers so that we can see the action of the character ripping out the petals
showing her anger. Her anger is further showed when the camera pans up to a mid
close-up of her talking on the phone and we see her facial expressions as being
anguished.
The camera on the next location
tracks behind some objects which obscures our view from seeing the character in
detail and adding more curiosity. The track is fairly slow at a speed which can
exemplify that that’s the way the character is feeling: moody and depressed. The
shot is then focused on his phone which appears to be a mid shot, so we get the
impression that he may want to receive a phone call from someone, drawing us in
as we want to find out who that person may be. The scene ends with a shot from
his hand to a close-up of his annoyed face and by using continuity editing this
makes it effective because it makes it realistic from the fluid editing. This can
also be a match-on action because the two clips between his phone and his face
may be shot a year apart but because of the invisible editing, it connects
them.
We are then shown a long shot of
where the next scene is taking place which appears like a hallway and we are
introduced to the next character. This shot is also filmed from a long angle
and this normally makes the character higher status but in this case it could
be a way of must making the scene more visually interesting because we then
track closer to his face. We end up with
a mid close up shot which shows his facial expressions and we are able to
interpret his feelings/thoughts.
This shot begins with a low angle
shot of a women’s feet which is effective because we focus on what the
character is focusing on to and get a sense of being part of the film- again making
the programme feel like reality. We then finish with an establishing shot so
that we can get a sense of where exactly we are, drawing importance to the
setting.
