Representation: A2 Coursework Related

Question 1(b) = requires candidates to select one production and evaluate it in relation to one of the following media concept.

Sound
àMusic- represents the youth who we are trying to target(through research)  http://emmaarjayne.blogspot.com/2010/10/target-audience-research.html
àNo speech represents he that something bad is going to happen- which is normally in all horror genres.

Camera Angles/Shots/ Movement
à Over the shoulder shot of Isabelle doing her make up represents her looking into a mirror and her being too into her looks as she is constantly checking how she looks.
à Hand held shot represents the fast pace chase that the characters are in which gets the audience's attention
à Tilted down shot- represents the geek as a lower status to the girl as she is looking down at him and the same with a tilted up shot at the geek looking at the girl.

Editing
à The cut to black where Isabelle falls over represents her fainting and not remembering what happens
à Fast cuts to each shot in the running sequence represents how fast they are running and how Isabelle is scared and her heart is racing.
à Fades and cuts were used through out to represent a normal life, making the film seem realistic. If the editing was extravagant the film would not be seen as realistic.

Mise en scene
à Characters being represented through their clothing and props. The Geek= big glasses, old baggy jumper and folder shows and represents he is a geek as we relate geeks with being not fashionable (big glasses and jumper) and caring about work (folders). The Hot Guy= Hoodie- which is very fashionable at the moment which represents he is in style, he is represented not to care through trying to act distant which is stereotypical of the hot guys in films. Isabelle= represented as a typical girl of the time through what she is wearing, leggins, heels, peach tops- this shows she is a very typical girl of the time and is represented as too into her looks through what she does.
