2. Different shots
This is a mid-shot, showing
only the top of her body and
a bit of the background. This
is a good shot as it allows the
audience to be able to see
the actresses face and
emotions whilst being able to
see around them at the
location and background.
Here is a long shot of the
actress. This enables the
emphasis to be focused of
the setting of this scene
which in this case is the
woods. However still has the
girl in to show that she is at
this place.
This shot is an extreme close up
of the actress. However the
lighting being very dark in this
particular shot, these can
generally be used to emphasis
the emotions and facial
expressions of the actors.

3. Editing
This editing has been done on
a green screen by filming the
man and then placing his face
onto a TV screen to create the
effect of being on TV. This is
very creative and on top of this
Alfie has edited the girls eyes
to be watching on top of the tv.

4. Location
First location we see is the
woods, this creates a sense of
mystery and makes us as the
audience question why she is
there and what she is going to
do. It also creates a horror
kind of feel as you can relate
the woods to a place which is
scary.
The second location we see is
a street where the actress is
stood outside a house with
police tape surrounding it. This
creates tension as she is not
meant to pass the line
however she does.
Another location which Alfie
uses a number of times is a
bath. In which, the actress
washes away a large amount
of blood. This relates to the
song name and the lyrics “Bad
blood”
