3. CAMERA WORK AND MISE-EN-
SCENE
• Camera work:
Interviews- The camera is positioned at around eye level with mid shots/ mid close ups and close-ups all being
used to give the viewer an easier time reading emotion. It also allows the viewer to see there body which can be
a large part of a conversation because of the body language. The rule of thirds is used within the interview
meaning the interviewee are positioned to camera left or right looking into the looking space. Establishing
shots are used for context and are used when they are in the shopping centre near the end.
Mise-en-Scene:
They are all wearing their normal clothes and most likely with dry makeup during the interview. They will be
wearing there normal makeup as well. Everything in the scene must be relevant to the topic so in the interviews
the guy was in a warehouse/meeting room with clothes on rails. Other people were in fashion rooms such as
the clothing designer. Georgina Horne, plus size blogger, was videoed in a gym with her personal trainer as her
focus was wanting to be slimmer for her children and for her wedding day. The modelling lady in Milk was
placed within the studio with cameras and light ewuipment. The lighting would have been soft lighting. Social
media ws used extensively within the clip
