Tyson wears dark clothing in the drug dealing scene that stereotypically depicts what a drug dealer would wear. This helps establish the scene. James approaches Tyson down an alleyway and appears more vulnerable as he walks with his head down, while Tyson seems more powerful from his position. The shot positions Tyson as intimidating and James as weak.

1. The clothing
Tyson wore in
this scene are
stereotypical to
what a drug
dealer would
wear, the dark
clothing helped
create mise en
scene.
In the drug dealing scene of my trailer, James walks
down the alley way towards Tyson. In this shot we
see that Tyson looks the more powerful and calm
one from his position, James looks the more
vulnerable one as he is walking with his head down
and hands in his pockets. We used this shot as
Tyson looks big and intimidating and James looks
small and weak.

2. A medium close up of the hand suggests something dodgy
is happening as both characters have not addressed the
item in its proper name calling it ‘stuff’. The way they are
passing the object suggests they are trying to hide
something.

3. Both of these scenes involve
fighting, an over the shoulder
shot is used to show the facial
expressions. In my trailer the
over the shoulder shot is used
to show the fear in the victim,
whereas in the Hollyoaks
trailer the over the shoulder
shot is used to show the
anger of the attacker.
The fight scene in our
trailer was filmed with a
handheld camera, this
was used to make the
audience feel that they
were involved with the
fight and part of the
action.

4. A zoom is used in both
of these scenes to show
the emotion and facial
expressions of the
characters. This allows
the audience to see the
reaction to what is
happening. Both scenes
begin with medium
close up of what is
causing the character to
react and the zoom
captures the reaction.

5. A parallel narrative was used in this
scene by switching from one scene
to another and back again, this
made the audience nervous as they
knew what was about to happen
and created suspense.
