Presentation part 1 c

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.

The clothing Tyson wore in this scene are stereotypical to what a drug dealer would wear, the dark clothing helped create mise en scene.

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.

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.

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.

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.
