The scene begins with a close-up shot of a hospital sign identifying the facility as a criminally disordered retention facility, connoting danger. Students will analyze sequences from the scene, noting camerawork, sound, editing, and mise-en-scene in pictures from the scene to understand how it represents the character of Sarah. Key words and terminology should be underlined to discuss how media language works.

1. • The scene begins with a
close up shot of the
hospital sign, the sign says
‘A criminally disordered
retention facility’. The sign
along with a crane shot
used to show the fencing
and barbed wire connotes
to the audience that those
who are detained here are
very dangerous.

2. • Using my example you will now analyse the
rest of the sequence. The sequence will play
on a loop, so you can watch it as many times
as needed (if you want me to pause I can, and
don’t be scared to ask questions)
• Stick the pictures in your book and write your
analysis next to the relevant ones as we have
done with the example

3. • You don’t have every shot just significant ones, so
you have to think about what you see and hear
before and after the shots that are pictured
• Underline key words and terminology, remember
you need to write about how the MEDIA
LANGUAGE works to REPRESENT Sarah
• Camerawork
• Sound
• Editing (only a little bit)
• Mise-en-scene
