Worth 5 marks
In a scene where officers Ryan Draper and Jake Vickers are bringing in a women who assaulted Jake, she tries to protest by threatening them with the fact that her mother's a QC lawyer. There side face shot of Ryan as he states 'We don't care what peoples parents do' and then there is a focus pull to Jake to show his reaction for his father is the chief constable for the police. He gives a quick smile to himself put then there is a room shot showing the other officers reactions where they are laughing at him, it then switches back to Jake where he looks hurt and embarrassed.
In another scene Jo walks into Chief Super Robert Vickers office and asks him if he wants to meet later and says that 'it hasn't been a while' showing that there had been something between them before when he turns her down there is a cut away shot to show a point of view shot of a photo of the chief's wife and son, and this shows that he is obviously backing out of their affair
Directly after this scene when Jo Moffat leaves the room there is a slow zoom into a close up of her face showing her reaction to talking to the superintendent and how awkward it had been. The face shot is the chin to the top of her crown and shows a whole series of emotions as a reaction: pain, disappointment, embarrassment and anger. They also add a dark lighting called chiaroscuro, this outlines her features and makes her look older and more feeble.
Marks: 5/5 Well done overall
ReplyDelete"There side face shot": identify this as a CU, mid shot (or whatever) and spell accurately.
"focus pull to Jake ": correct
"He gives a quick smile to himself" : you need to identify camera shot types precisely, such as CU, mid shot
"where he looks hurt and embarrassed.": yes, but add "to show the audience that he looks hurt, which makes us feel sympathy for him"
"slow zoom into a close up of her face showing her reaction"GOOD, also good on Jo Moffat
The term is chiaroscuro (not Piero Oscuro) meaning strong contrasts of light and dark.
