2. Question 1: conventions of TV soap learning from real media
texts.
MISE EN SCENE
EDITING
CAMERA
3. Q1: BBC The Cut Trailer.
Camera uses an big close up to focus on male character so audience
can see emotions.
Lighting shallow on characters face, not too bright, enhances
emotions and hollow atmosphere. Filter on the lighting to create
shadow.
White background draws attention to characters face. Droplets of
water signify washing of hands/ sanity.
4. Q1: BBC The Cut Trailer.
Characters face placed at the top of the shot, looking down.
White background (as in previous shot) to draw attention to
characters face.
Big close up shot.
Natural shadow on background from cut out and lighting.
Cut to next shot.

10 SHOTS = 1 SECOND OF FILM.
Shots show the development of progressing the movements from the
original clip.
6. Q1: BBC The Cut Trailer.
We found it difficult during our stop motion, to follow the
original action and make her close her eyes, so instead we panned
across the characters face.
Over the shoulder shot.
Clear picture of the face to show emotion. Make-up and hair done
perfectly suggests young woman who takes pride in her
appearance.

Close up of face to emphasise emotion. Slow pan for audience to
consume facial expression.
White background to draw attention to characters face.
Official picture from original trailer with make-up and hair
done.
Young woman, looks like a student/ young adult.
Dark lighting highlights the intended atmosphere.
Character looking off screen- typical convention of soaps.

8. Q1: BBC The Cut Trailer.
Symmetrical composition. Medium Close up (MCU)
Sat on a bench, wearing trendy, in-fashion clothes suggests they
are students at College or University.
Lighting is bright, suggests they are outside (as well as
background). Dull door in background to not take the focus away
from the characters on screen.
9. Q1: BBC The Cut Trailer.
Again, we found it challenging to make the characters look like
they were having a conversation, and so instead we used a 180
degree pan across the characters. This worked as it establishes the
scene/ environment.
180 degree pan of characters, establishes scenery.
Brighter lighting to create that sense that the characters are
placed outside in this scene.
