3. Summary
This video is a comedy and is about a boy
called david trying to get a girl that he
always sees in the morning. Trying to win
her over in the most stupidest ways, not
realising she was deaf. This video was
based over a period of a week.

4. M-E-S
C-Costume-David is wearing socks that say each day of the week this lets the audience
know what is going on. He is also wearing everyday clothes that a typical person
would wear to college and the girl is wearing everyday clothes. This shows us a
similarity between them both.
L-Lighting- The lighting in the bathroom looks like its meant to be high key lighting but
seems to be a little dark, on one main side of the face it is at the darkest so i can't
really see his facial features. In the street it is high key natural lighting is could
signify happiness.
A-Actors- The actor acts like a very silly boy bot noticing that the person he is trying to
talk to is deaf. He also seem to be acting like a simple guy that is trying to get a
girl.
M-Makeup- The only person wearing makeup is the girl this could signify dominance
over the boy. The boy may not be wearing makeup to show he is a stereotypical
boy.
P-Props- There are many props like all the things he tries to give her like the sweets,
flowers and sweets. He also uses props like his tie, toothbrush to show the
audience his daily routine. There is also his socks as they are a prop as they
purposely used them.
S-Setting- The setting is mainly the bathroom to show his routine and the bus stop as at
the bus stop there is the girl he sees everyday, and the one he is trying to win over
with his flirtatious ways.

6. Editing
There was a dissolve when the boy was doing his daily
routine in the morning this could signify his boredom
of the routine. It also dissolves out after a certain
scene in the film opening this could show the audience
it is a different scene.The titles slide on at the start
of the film letting the audience who are the main
people in the film opening. They also slide in a quick
and snappy in a fun may this could connote happiness
and it is also a generic convention of comedy this
shows us that they have tried stick to the conventions
of the genre.

7. Lighting
See back to M-E-S

8. Camera
There is close ups on his face when he is doing his
morning routine. This is to show his facial features so
we know who the main character is straight away. Then
it goes to a long shot when he arrives at the bus stop. It
also shows us where the main setting is. There is a two
shot when they are both sat at the bus stop this is to
show us the two main characters in the film opening.
There is a close up on his socks when every morning to
show the days of the week. There is also a close up
when he hands her the love tape and then goes up to
his face to see his reaction. Then cuts to her reaction
which she was not pleased.

10. Sound
At the start there is non-diegetic music when
the titles come in, and carries on till he sits
on the bench and starts the narration over
the top. Then the diegetic sound comes in
with dialogue on the screen while he is
trying to grab the girls attention. The non-
diegetic music then comes in every so often
while the boy is doing his daily routine. This
is to keep the audience interested and not
get bored with what he is doing over and
over again.

11. Enigma
There isn’t much enigma as he says most of
it when he is trying to tell us what is
happening and which girl he is trying to
get.
Why is he trying to get this girl?
Why is she deaf?
How come he is so socailly awkward?

12. Dislikes
I don't like the fact that
there isn't much enigma
as he is telling us most
things about himself.
I also don't like the sound
of the dialogue when he
is speaking on the side
of the road as his voice
is not really heard as
there are cars going by.

13. I do like the jokes that he says like 'I
Likes like pigeons' this is funny as it is so
random and just makes him seem
simple. And when he gives the girl
sweets but he has a leaf and
wrapper with them.
I also like that they use of the socks
as it shows us that they are going
in a chronological order, day by
day.
Finally i like the simpleness of that
they have made the character as it
makes it more funnier for the
audience.
