Britannia High


The camera angles opening shot into the scene is of a background view from a shimmering lamp, this seems as if the audience is walking in on a discussion. This invites the audience to feel part of the characters such as the camera angle being at the same level as the characters sat down.
The camera then tracks onto a mid shot to establish who the conversation is about as he is the odd one out who is stood up; this helps to understand the reason of the gathering.

The open shot presents us with a shiny and glittery object which helps to represent and inform the audience of the surroundings and settings that they are confronted with.
This also helps to introduce and inform the audience of the sort of class and age range of people viewing the programme.

The camera then pans to the characters in the scene. Giving the audience a view of the characters involved in the scene, and the way there composed within the shot. The camera then shows us a master shot this enables the location for audience to view all the people in the scene and the environment they are in. Then it shows an eye level shot of the characters and invites the audience in. makes them feel as if there part of what’s occurring within the scene and the conversation going on between the characters.
The next camera technique used was a two shot shows just two characters in one frame.
The camera then rises with the standing character and creates an emphasis with the character. Keeping the audience involved and keeps them within the conversation.

The character has a dramatic and emotional scene which cuts to a medium close up of the characters face. This represents and puts forward the emotions by the character.

There is then a Tracking of him leaving and wide shot of everyone’s reactions, this shot is at eye level and gives emphasis to the audience making them feel involved in the events occurring.
It then cuts to a Montage, whip pans and quick zooms, fast speed shows time progression. This informs the viewers were the scene is changing to, the surrounding environment.
A wide shot is used to show the characters are lost, and this helps contribute to the emotions feelings and worries the characters may be feeling. The viewer is kept constantly involved.

There is then a change in the depth of field, the camera changes the focus to a flower close up to the camera and the characters blurred but noticeable within the background.
The height of the camera is then raised and changes the status of the characters. Showing the house in front of them as dominant, and them in comparison to it. They also use the reverse shot technique to show two shots of the same thing, along with the long shot this helps to introduce the settings, characters and the objects involved.

When the characters enter their friends house it used a high angle shot to emphasise the size of the room they have entered.
It then cuts to the separate character in a different surrounding and emphasises the wealth and intelligence of the character by emphasising the books and the huge surroundings.
A long shot is used on the hallway which contributes to the magnitude of the environment and helps implement the high status of the wealthy character.
Worms’s eye view makes housing imposing and impressive and over whelms the character within the surroundings.
