The editing is faded of the kids playing around, which encourage the audience to watch it, this creates a lot of enigma (Barthes) for the audience, as they would wonder why they are all running around like that. The music in the background is non-diegetic and contrapuntal, and it has a loud bass, it doesn't suit the scene as it is set in a school. Moreover, there are some parallel sounds being used such as a the smashing of the window, this creates enigma for the audience, as it is right at the start they wonder why is that kid doing that.That scene cuts straight after him walking a few steps into the playground full of children in uniform talking and making noise.
There is a high angel shot of the school, suggesting it isn't as powerful. The camera is elevated above the action which is happening below using a crane to give the general overview of the school buildings and the pupils. Moreover, there is also a medium shot of the 3 girls dancing which allows the audience to see their body language, facial expressions and movements very clearly. Straight after there is a hand-held camera movement towards a guy, whom looks very suspicious and this is connoted by his facial expressions and his movements connote there is something up. There is a tracking shot of the guy whilst he is walking towards another group of people, which allow us to see his movements thus allowing us to feel what he is feeling, which creates more of a connection. Moreover, there is a long shot of two men smoking, this allows us to see their body language very clearly, they are standing stiff straight suggesting they have no worries. The binary opposition between the school children dressed in their uniform and the men is very clear, it shows us the difference between them, also the stereotypes of teachers being role models is broken, as they are smoking in front of the children thus showing a bad side to them suggesting kids aren't the bad ones.
Furthermore, there is a tilt shot of when the headmaster is throwing down paper, the camera slowly moves up on the tripod to show the paper, we can see the headmasters facial expressions from far, him throwing down the paper so fast indicates how impatient he is and he is letting out his anger. Moreover, there is a shot/reverse/shot of the headmaster throwing paper to the guys whom were smoking, this is effective as we get to see the persons facial expressions again.
The lighting used throughout the video is natural lighting, from the outside, this allows the video to be more realistic and allows the audience to imagine it is happening now. This allows students and teachers to be seen in both positive and negative ways as they are all seen within the same frame due to the lighting. Moreover, the lighting is natural as it is outside it would be harder to make it low-key but scenes set inside could be either low-keyed or high-keyed depending on the situation of the episode. The lighting has a big role within the realistic, the lighting being natural allows us to see the students and teachers facial expressions clearly, however if there was a suspense scene there should be use of low-key lighting due to it creating more tension for the audience and making them wonder, also this would create enigma for them. It is vital for directors to take into consideration, that the characters body language and facial expressions should be clear, and this could be adjusted depending on the type of lighting being used.
This is targeted to 14-18 year olds due to it being set in school and it shows the different ways the school is being represented, and that is the age group whom is in high school and it would be girls and boys due to the behaviour of the programme as it shows boys in different ways as well as girls. The ideology of this programme shows how teenagers are shown within society, this programme represents them in that way.
The clip starts of with a girl talking to the camera, which creates enigma for the audience as we wonder why she is doing that, her eyes are wide open which makes her speech more effective, and also she is talking about someone else, whom we aren't aware of. The close-up of the girl allows the audience to see her facial expressions very clearly and this connotes what kind of person she is, also her speech suggests she is a gossip girl. Slowly, the camera goes backwards which could be a connotation of her losing power over it, also as it goes back we are then able to see the movement of her hands.
Moreover, then there is a straight cut shot, but her vocal expression is still in the background explaining what is happening, then there is a her coming back in a different role which is a flashback acting out what she had just said. There is a close-up of her face as she walks in and this allows the audience to see her facial expressions, and she looks a bit suspicious and looks like she's up to something, then there is a tracking shot of her walking into the room with a medium shot of her back, which is like the audience following her. Furthermore, there is a low-angle shot of a character's legs fetish as we are encouraged to see it, suddenly her clothes are all off and she is jumping around with a pillow, and behind is a man with no clothes on suggesting something may occur between them two.
The sound is digetic and parallel in the beginning as the she is talking, but then there is some background music which is non-diegetic as the tambourines however, this fits in with the scene as it is sound the audience would imagine to hear, thus it is parallel. Moreover, the lighting used within this is natural lighting and there are some aspects of low-key lighting creating shadows and making the scene more intense which also makes it look more effectual and brings a sense of mystery towards the audience and characters. Moreover the editing being used are a few straight cuts, which gets straight to the point and it doesn't include any unnecessary points.
This would be targeted to females around 16-20, as the show includes many flashbacks and at this age you are likely to have flashbacks and also it shows different ways in which teenagers act.
In the first scene their is a medium-shot taking place whilst the women are conversing, this is suitable as we can see the body- language and facial expressions of the diverse women and their way of reaction. The clothing they are wearing connote what kind of characters they may be, it brings out their personality and makes them unique in there own way. They both are dressed fairly smart. There is a shot/reverse/shot of the lady walking towards the coffin, we are able to see she may have a connection with that, as it could be someone related to her. Her facial expressions drop as she walks closer to the coffin which creates enigma, suspense and tension for the audience, as first she was fine talking to the lady, this suggests she had a close relationship with the person whom has passed away. There is a close-up of the girls whilst they are sitting down, which allows us to see their facial expressions clearly and by this we are able to see what they may be feeling as it shows their emotions. There is a pan shot of all the girls whom are sitting in a row, which allow us to see all their facial expressions and see how it changes as they are talking.
The setting of the scene is in a church suggesting peace and safety, there is a close-up shot of the lady's hand and the other lady touching it which engages the audience as it is very close and it could create enigma as we don't see her face so we don't know who's holding her hand. The use of sound building up emphasises on the event occurring. The sound is parallel sound as it blends in with the scene, as it is set in a church and it is peaceful music then it gets intense as soon as someone enters this could be due to some past events that had occurred between them and the sounds emphasises on that, this keeps the audience engaged as it is in a church and it is sweet. It is diegetic sound as it is in line with the story line, this is the type of music the audience would expect to here within an event like this occurring. Furthermore, the dialogue is diegetic and the parallel music within the background doesn't go over it which allows the audience to hear both the dialogue and the music, which helps make the atmosphere.
The lighting in this clip is low-key lighting as their are shadows being created. Moreover, the lighting fits in with the atmosphere and the event, as it is a funeral. There is a chiaroscuro effect, it uses one key light which keeps the audience engaged as they want to know what will happen next, and the lighting helps create the effects. The editing being used within this programme are a few straight cuts used within this sequence, and this allows the audience to get to the point, and it allows to cut unnecessary parts out.
This programme is aimed at teenager girls aged 14-17 as this programme contains a lot of problems teenagers go through, this would allow the teenage girls to relate to them and also see how they deal with the problems and find solutions to help them, and this is the age group which falls in love and deals with boyfriend problems and within this programme there is a lot of that and the teenage girls will be able to learn more on how to deal with these problems.

It starts with a recap of the previous show which allows the audience to remember what happened before. There is an establishing shot of the location and this is effective as we are able to see everything within the view. There is a long shot of the couple kissing, we are able to see their body language and movements whilst kissing. Moreover, then there is a medium shot of them expressing their love to one another, which emphasises on their relationship being very calm and relaxed, it shows they have trust. Furthermore, there is a medium shot of the women which suggests she was daydreaming about what she wishes happens. There is a pan shot from left to right depicting the excitement, which then goes onto a tracking shot of the children coming out of lessons. Moreover, the use of handheld camera is effective as it shows the excitement the children have due to them finishing school. The camera zooms out from a building and then zoom's in to another building which doesn't usually work right but this was effective and worked well, as it looked as if they were travelling. There are a few edits used within this programme, such as the basic straight cuts. There are lots of shots, quickly moving by which keeps the audience engaged as they would want to see every shot clearly so they mustn't move there eye in order to see everything.
The sound is digetic and parallel to the surroundings, as it is a romance scene and there is peaceful love music playing along with it. Moreover, within the school the students are firstly quiet as soon as the bell rings the sound of the students coming out from school is gradually gets louder and louder which connotes and emphasis on their happiness of being free from school which is what the audience would expect due to it being a school and them being excited to leave school and go home to relax.
The lighting is low-key lighting being it an intense romantic scene creating shadows and having filter light is effective as it brings out the feelings.There is some use of key-lighting and this is useful as helps bring out the positive attitude and emphasises on the atmosphere.
It's good there is no low-key lighting as it wouldn't match the sense as it is a romantic scene.
This would appeal to teenage girls and boys aged 14-18, as they could be able to relate to the characters within this programme, as there are a variety of different types of actors.
FRIENDS
In this scene, you are only able to see one of the characters conversing to another, but you are able to hear the other ones vocal expressions, which creates enigma for the audience as in we wonder who is talking and why aren't we able to see them, then we begin to picture them depending on the voice tone. Furthermore, we see a long-shot of the character when she enters, this allows us to see her body language, and her movement as well as some of her facial expressions but not clearly as the point of a long shot is to see the persons body movements and gestures, however the audience are still in enigma as she is in such as rush with her suitcase packed and she's going to London but we aren't aware why. There is a medium shot to a long shot of the characters alongside a shot/reverse/shot we are able to see both of the characters body languages and facial expressions because of this. There is an over the shoulder shot which allows us to see things from the characters point of view, and this is a way of keeping the audience engaged as they will be able to see things from the characters point of view, this is in form of a medium shot.
The editing used is very fast and there are fast cuts which work well with the sequence, as we are able to see whom is talking, the cuts are able to cut out unnecessary parts within the sequence of the programme, and it gets to the point which will keep the audience engaged into watching the programme. There is not much sound used within this programme, but there is a non-digetic sound track of audience laughing, we are able to tell it has been recorded and put in, however that is parallel as it is put into parts which are meant to be funny.
The lighting is key-lighting as it is very bright and this allows to bring out the characters facial expressions more clearly, this allows us to see their movements more clearly as well due to it being bright. Moreover, it fits in with the genre as it is an comedy show, low-key lighting wouldn't work for this as comedy is seen to be bright, and shadows are created within horror films or intense moments.
This would appeal to teenagers as they would want to have a laugh, it would also appeal to young adults as the stars are young adults, moreover due to the characters having a sense of humour it appeals to teenagers and also it shows their dopey personalities.
IDEAS!
If it is a reality teen programme then we will make sure everything is possible to be seen such as the actions of the actions - movement, body language and facial expressions as these are the main things which attract the audience, this will be done by the lighting, this will play a big role within the type of programme we wish to produce, however we if we want it to be more realistic we need to make sure we don't break any rules such as the 180 degrees rule, as if that is broken the programme may not be as realistic as it could be. However if we do break this, it would be to create confusion for the audience. We need to include cut shots to get to the point, and also we could include some fade shots. Moreover, if we do a fictional-programme we would use a lot of low-key lighting as it would create more of an effect and there would be a lot of shadows. It would make the characters stand out, it would engage more of the audience. I would use a lot of shot/reverse/shots to show the characters facial expressions, also the editing would include a lot of cuts, we need to show a binary opposition between two different things to show the contrast.
Furthermore, we need to have a lot of different locations to act out our scenes in, we need a lot of cut shots to emphasis on the important parts, as we need to keep the audience engaged. We don't need to confuse the audience, so we shouldn't break the 180 degree rule, as we want to create a sense of realism. Also, we need to make it clear when the scene has ended as we don't want to confuse the audience, also we need to make sure we record a few seconds later and stay in role at all times because when editing we are able to cut out parts, whereas if we shoot less then it could ruin our production work. Moreover, we need to use different shots such as low-angle shots to show power of a character if needed so, or else a high-angle shot to show how powerless they are. The sound is as important as we need to decide whether we want it to be parallel to the narrative or contrapuntal as we need to show an effect, also whether it is digetic of non-digetic. We must use a tripod to create a steady effect and to avoid shaky effects, however if we wish to create this shaky effect we should do hand held camera effect, this could be used to create tension and to build on the intenseness of the situation.
