Task 5-Selection of TV drama stills and annotations

The shot used in this screen shot is a midshot. It shows parts of the person and also shows part of the background, well enough so you can tell the setting. This has been used because the shot is not needed any closer, but does not have much of a background that is needed to be shown. 






This is between a wide shot (WS) and very wide shot (VWS). This is because the subject (the girl on the sofa) is visible, but concentration is mainly on the two adults in the background. This shot has been used because it shows the 3 characters in one conversation but in different parts of the scene. This is effective because you can see more going on, and the class of children being portrayed as lazy and unsociable on the sofa.





This is a over the shoulder shot (OSS). This has been used in this clip for effect to show that there is a conversation occurring between two characters. It is showing that the lady we can clearly see is more dominant and is the one speaking at this time, so dominance is shown here.







This shot is taken from above. They have decided to do this shot at this specific time of the scene because it gives the effect that you should look down to see the main part of the scene. Taken it from above shows the dominance of the character there being looked down on and that they are less powerful, or in this case injured/hurt/ unfortunate.
