This Power point is a detailed analysis of each photo I took during filming

2. This picture is from the first scene of the
trailer where the couple meet each
other for the first time.
I have dressed the female in a long grey
feminine cut coat and a white scarf and
hat which highlights the choice of light
coloured clothing. Her hair is down
which highlights its length which
reinforces her feminine appearance.
The male is in darker clothing and the cut of the clothing highlights his masculinity
with the coat adding a built up effect around the arms. This two shot highlights the
parallel of stereotypical gender appearances between the two characters.
The setting I chose was road side and allowed for a high key lighting of ambient light
as there is no buildings blocking out sunlight. I wanted this scene to have high key
lighting because it connotes the positivity of this scene as this is the first time they
meet. The lighting is also significant to the immediate physical attraction that they
between each other which is conventional to genre. The green and yellow colours in
the background allow the actors to stand out against them and the changing colour
leaves are conventional as the darker orange and reds are associated with romance.

3. This shot is the fifth shot in the first
scene. I took this picture just before I
began shooting.
The setting here is further down the
same street where the couple are
shot as they walk away together
after meeting. The high key lighting
is still present here which creates a
positive feel which is conventional to
the context of this scene.
The setting here has altered slightly with the road being on the left side which gives
an unobtrusive background and the hedge along the right side gives the same effect.
While the house in the background adds detail into this shot and the line of the road
goes through the centre of this shot producing a route of the eye. I placed the couple
in the centre of this shot to work with this route of the eye.
The mise en scene such as clothing have kept the same as this is the same scene as
the slide before displays.

4. This shot is from the first
scene where the couple are
walking away together. I
filmed this shot from a
climbing frame in my garden
which allowed me to produce
a extreme high angled shot
which in a film would normally
be created by a camera on a
crane. I was particularly
pleased that I was able to
achieve this shot.
The high key ambient lighting in this shot has lit up the road behind them and has
created a key light which draws focus to the couple. This looks effective as this light
has created almost a focus pull on the couple. The light and pastel colours of the
scenery in the background create an unobtrusive background and allows for the
couples darker clothing to stand out against the background which keeps focus on the
male and female. The line of the road cuts this shot in half which produces a route of
the eye as it follows this line. The couple walk along the road which keeps focus on
them as they walk during this scene.

5. This shot is from the third shot in
the first scene. I re-filmed this
shot as I wasn’t satisfied with
the angle of my first shots and I
also wanted to change their
accents from English to
American as I felt this sounded
more conventional to genre.
This image I took of Isobel has
turned out dark due to the flash
but when filming it was lighter.
The female is in the same clothing s before but has taken off her hat for this scene as I
thought the hat took too much attention away from her face. The white scarf
highlights her dark hair and this is representative of her feminine appearance.
The image is cut into two halves with the female character positioned in the centre of
this shot. The optical area is of whites sky while the terminal area has the road and
buildings in it. The use of the split shot allows for a route of the eye which brings focus
to the female that is directly in the centre of this split.

6. This picture I took whilst they
were trying to work out what
movements to use whilst
dancing to make her hair spin
in the way I had requested
them to try and achieve.
This shot is a close up two shot
of the characters when
actually I filmed this scene as
a mid-shot two shot.
The female in this shot is wearing a fitted red dress which highlights her feminine
curves and the red colour represents romance. The dress is conventional to genre
because it is stereotypical of the appearance of her gender. The male character is in
a black shirt which contrasts to the bright red dress. The black shirt highlights his
masculinity and is representative of the masculine character I am trying to achieve
with my main male role.
The plain wall that I used behind them provides an unobtrusive background which
looks effective because it draws all attention to the couple dancing.

7. This photo was taken during
shooting for the scene where
she realises he’s a marine.
The mise en scene such as
clothing has a feminine collar
cut and the grey and white
contrasts well against the
orange and black background
which allows focus on the
female.
The female is wearing mise en scene such as make-up which highlights her femininity
and her hair is up to allow the collar cut to be on show. The background is a feminine
scene with cushions and the us of light feminine colours. This creates an overall female
tone in the scene which contrasts to the following scene of the male.
The depth of field in this shot allowed me to create a focus pull on the female as the
focus on the camera enabled me to do this. The railings of the bed create a route of the
eye because they are black so they stand out and the female is positioned in the centre
of these which creates focus on her.

8. This image I took just before we
shot the scene in the car. The
lighting here is low key lighting as
it was dark outside. This is
conventional to the context as it
is a negative scene with the male
crying. I used the interior lights in
the car and also I positioned a
torch in the car to light up his
face which created a key light
over his face which draws
attention.
The mise en scene here such as his black shirt mirrors the low key lighting and it is
representative of the negative mood of this scene. The dominant colour here is black
and black connotes darkness and negativity which is why it is conventional to the
context.
I have created this shot by a rule of thirds. The male is positioned on the right side
while his arm is across the centre and the steering wheel is in the left third. This
produces a shot of interest rather than him being directly in the centre. The depth of
field in this shot consists of the interior image of the car but because of the darkness
outside it creates an unobtrusive background. His light skin and hair contrasts against
the dark background which makes him the focus in this shot.

9. This picture is from the scene
where the male is packing his
clothes into a bag whilst talking on
the phone to ‘Khloe’.
The mise en scene in this scene
consists of the males wardrobe
background and his masculine
clothing. I wanted him to wear a t
shirt which suggests he is away at
base and is not currently working.
I wanted Harry to wear a t shirt as he has muscular arms which highlights his
masculinity and I wanted his character to be representative of a stereotypical
masculine character. The mise en scene such as the phone has a plain black case which
represents his maturity rather than a brightly coloured case.
The shot has the wardrobe in the background and the depth of field ends at the back of
the wardrobe. This is made up of mainly dark colours and because Harry is in a white t-shirt
this allows him to contrast against the dark colours drawing attention to him.
The camera I used for this enabled me to bring harry into focus as he is in the
foreground sending the background into a slight blur which draws attention to Harry.

10. This shot is from the scene where
the couple are sitting together
enjoying each others company.
This shot was a wide shot which
displayed the sofa and the couple
sitting on it. The mise en scene such
as the sofa is significant to their
relaxed personas when together
and is symbolic of the period of
time of their relationship as it
suggests they have been with each
other long enough to be relaxed
together.
The female is wearing a beige top which allows her to stand out against the dark
leather. The male is also in lighter clothing to allow him to contrast against the dark
sofa but he is also wearing a sweat top which is more masculine for him to wear. The
female’s hair is up so that the attention is drawn to her face as they are both
laughing together in this scene.
This scene is against a white washed wall which allows no depth of field so all
attention is focused on the couple which makes this scene conventional as it focuses
on the romance between them.

11. This shot I took before I shot a scene
where the female looks up into the
night sky. This I filmed from a window
at night. The shot I used was a close
up shot of her face as this allows the
audience to see her facial expression
of hope.
The mise en scene I used such as
make-up was red lipstick because it
highlights her femininity which is
conventional to genre.
I made her wear a white vest top so that her clothing and the dark background
would be parallel to each other therefore drawing attention to the female. She had
her hair down, again to highlight her femininity which is conventional because my
female character is representational of the stereotypical attractive feminine
appearance.
The significance of her looking into the night sky is supposed to signify her
hopefulness as to her boyfriend coming home from being away for so long. It may
also signify her waiting for him- the end of the trailer is different shots of the couple
in different places to keep the audience in speculation.

12. This shot I took before we shot
this scene which is the scene
where she exits out of her work
pace on the phone.
I shot this scene at school
because of the building. The
building looks like an office etc.
So I wanted to shoot this bit of
footage here. She exits through
this door on the phone. This is
one of the final scenes which
leaves the audience in
speculation as to who she is
talking to.
This picture shows the main piece of the building that I used in this scene as I film her
walking out of the door. The brick, door and window frame contrast against her black
office clothing so it makes her stand out against the background.
The low key lighting here creates a dark mood so it insinuates that the couple may
have broken up or are going through some relationship problems as she is on the
phone- to who? The anonymous phone call creates a sense of the unknown for the
audience.

13. This shot is from the scene where the
female runs and jumps into the
male’s arms. This scene shows them
being re-united after he has been
working away. The female dons a
red crop top and small denim shorts
with her hair down which highlights
her femininity while the male is in a
black coat and dark jeans. The male
is completely covered up in clothing
which contrasts to the female
bearing her skin.
Their clothing colours contrast which highlights the difference between their gender
appearances. The light coloured wall behind them signifies that they are at their home
and it also allows them to be in full focus as there is no depth of field. The light wall is
parallel to the colours they are wearing which makes them stand out and it also allows
this picture to be much lighter overall. In this picture the couple are directly in the
centre of the frame to allow for full attention to be on them. The positioning of the
actors in this image symbolises the attraction and romance between them which is
conventional for genre.

14. This shot is from the scene where
the female is standing crying in her
bathroom and then washes the
mascara from her face. This scene
is symbolic to her not being able to
see her boyfriend while he is away,
but being near the end of the
trailer it may also refer to the
couple splitting up etc. I used this
scene t keep the audience in
speculation.
The bathroom I used works well because the close up shot of her crying is against light
coloured tiles as seen above the sink here. This allows her face to be highlighted
against the light background and this draws attention to her distressed facial
expressions. The use of mise en scene such as the mascara is conventional because
females in films often have make-up down their faces when they cry.
The use of the white top represents her as innocent and it makes her appear more
vulnerable as she is crying.
