notes

further age clip notes (farm)

mise en scene
whiskey >> traditional english 'man' drink >> in crystal pourer type bottle >> wealth
solid oak office shows the traditional countryside farmhouse building
four by four land rover car is associated with being on the dirt track which fits in with the countryside storyline
headmaster has full long moustache/ beard >> masculine stereotype
wooden furniture shows their tastes are quite old fashioned

camera
close up on woman in car  >> inquisitive >> doesn't know what she is doing but is pretending she does >> facade - who is she really?
medium shot on headmaster - positioned to the side of the shot
medium shot on people by car >> close knit family >> caring and look out for one another
slight low angle on man >> powerful >> manager of farm??? >> has power over the woman
pan shot follows man's movement of dragging the woman away >> when still the man is tall and the frame fits to his height where woman only takes up half the height almost >> man definitely has power
medium shot showing elder woman alone >> helpless >> cannot help the woman
low angle over the shoulder shot >> emphasises the man as menacing and powerful >> she is trying to explain to him/ get him to understand
man is first to walk away >> has power within the discussion
she strops and runs into the other room >> stereotypical assumption of the youth
man watches her and then walks in other direction >> doesn't have patience to be dealing with her
medium/ long shot shows lots of people working together >> all work in harmony to get the job done >> only men doing the lifting and fixing >> stereotypical masculinity working >> woman make tea type touch
point of view shot >> looks into mirror at herself >> looks at the photos and turns away >> significant >> leaving everything behind

zooms into photos showing that her family are close to her heart >> mirror >> reflection of soul

long shot on elder woman in bedroom >> presents the significance that the woman has left

edit
shot reverse shot shows it is a heated discussion and has two viewpoints to the story >> reasonable
match on action is used quite a bit >> walking >> getting in the truck >> woman running into the other room
the clips cut together which gives a realistic feel to the episode
the woman has prominence in her shots which shows that she is the main character

sound
the soundtrack stops when the crash sounds which gives the impression something important/ bad is about to happen, after the conflict between the man and woman the music starts up again showing the men working oblivious to the drama going on behind the scenes
when it goes back to the woman a sad soundtrack starts up showing that she is about to do something that will upset someone >> her leaving upsets the elder woman
the pholi of the men working, the sheep and birds in the background, the digging gives a realistic feel to the clip and a down to earth appearance also showing that just like in real life we do not know everything going on like the man does not yet know the woman has run away.
