pictures taken in lesson

In lesson we got in i a group of three, me Yasmin and Ester. We then had to make a storyboard of something very simple. We decided as a group that we would take some picture that would tell the story of, a girl sitting bored, we took a mid close up of Yasmin, this was so that we coulld show that she was bored. We then took a big close up of mu hand on the door, to make it look as if I was knocking on the door , this was because that is what we wanted the viewer to see directly. after that we took a an extreme close up of Yasmin's eyes to show that she was shocked. Then we took a mis shot of Yasmin standing up, this was so that people could see that she was getting up to answer the door. We then took a long shot of Yasmin walking towards the door, this was do that the viewer couold see the surroundings nd see where Yasmin was. We then took a high angle mid shot of Yasmin about to open the door, this was so that the viewer could see what Yasmin was doing clearly and their eyes would go to yasmin straight away because she had dominance in the image. After that we took an overtheshoulder imang of me and Yasmin this was so that the viewer could see that two people were communicting. Then we took a mid long shot of me and Yasmin hugging this was effective because we would both have dominance in the image and therefore the viewer would look at both of us. Then we hade a long shot of me and Yasmin walking, this took upo the mid third of the frame and therefore it would catch the viewers eyes. Our last image was a two shot of me and Yasmin, this was effective because it showed two people having a conversation and it draws the viewers attentin.

The TV drama that I have chosen is Eastenders.
Eastenders is a soap and it has been running for over thirty years.
in Eastenders they have many characters, for example the Mitchell family, one of which is called Phill Mitchell. Phill has joined Eastenders since 1990 and he used to be a character with a very dark side, however recently the return of his son Ben has shown a softer side to him.
Eastenders is located in Albert Square.
they use many props in Eastenders, such as furniture in the homes of every character in the soap. this is effective because it makes the soap look real and therefore gives the sense of everyday life.
We see many close up's of characters faces in Eastenders, this is effective because it shows the characters facial expression.
In Eastenders a lot goes on as it has been running for thirty years, however the story line is always interesting for the audience because they have everyday life on there, and the audience can relate to it.
They have a theme tune which is played at the start and at the end of Eastenders.
In Eastenders they use casual colours and ambient lighting to make it look like everyday life.


Aforeign film that I have studied is the Mexican film 'Amores Perros'
One of the characters in this film is Octavio and he is a man who has fallen in love with his brothers wife, Susana, and he would do anything to be with her and get her away from his brother because his brother beats her up. Hec would do anything for Susana. He had just made enough money to run away with Susana, however Susana took that money and run away with her husband (Octavios brother.) Octavio then becomes very angry and he turns into a violent person and more tragic things happen to him in the film.
This film is located in many areas such as, a dog racing place, modeling studio etc.
One of the props used in the film is the car in which the accident happens in.
A shot that is used in the film is an overtheshouolder shot, when Octavio is speaking to Susana, this is effective because it shows that two people are communicating.
In the film a lot of non diagetic sound is used, when they are playing a song that is not directly from the film.
