3. Setting
The whole scene is set
in the evening.
Lou and Sam are sitting
in the car and it’s raining
outside.
4. Lighting
The scene has a very realistic lighting,
because it should seem as natural as
possible. You can also see the streetlights
in the back and it seems as if there was no
light added. But when you think about it
you notice that there has to be added light
because the scene is set in the night and
you would not be able to see the actors.
5. Camera
The camera angle is not tilted
during the whole scene. At the
beginning of the scene we have
a shot/ reverse shot. This shows
that they are in a conversation
and connects the characters.
The shots move from her to his
perspective all the time.
6. Camera
Then there is a medium shot
from behind them and you see
them getting closer. This gives
the audience the feeling that
they are sitting on the back
seat.
Most of the shots are close ups
with shows the intimacy.
7. Depth of field
The focus is on the
characters and you can’t
see what’s going on outside
of the car (selected focus).
The background is kind of
blurred through the rain.
8. Sound
They use diegetic sound in this scene,
because the characters can really
hear it. The rain is used as a
background noise. The focus in sound
is the conversation and the song.

9. What is good about this scene?
I like the scene because of its
romantic atmosphere. It’s
presented very natural and as
a teenage girl you can easily
connect with it.
