THE SCENE

WHY I CHOSE THIS FILM?
● I chose this film and this scene, because I felt the opening of the door and walking to their seats was the most important part of the film.
● This is because the audience is introduced to the main characters and the shot reverse camera shots suggests to the viewer there will be a relationship between Bella and Edward.
CAMERA SHOTS AND EDITING
● Close up of Bella, establishing her watching the door, this prepares the audience for the introduction of the characters.
● Mid shot of Jessica and Cullen's opening the door and walking past.
● Establishing shots of each of the Cullen Couple, to introduce the audience to the characters.
● Close up of Edward as he walks in establishing his “beauty” and introducing the audience to the main character.
● Long shot of the Cullen's sat down together, this suggests their outcasts, and stick together.
● Shot reverse shot between Bella and Edward, this suggests there could be a relationship between them during the film.
SOUND
● Non – diegetic: really quiet base guitar sounds, which becomes louder as Edward Cullen walks in creating a climax.
● Diegetic sound: people talking to create a realistic atmosphere.
ESTABLISHED SETTING
● This scene is set in high school in the cafeteria, this is shown through the layout of the tables.
MISE-EN-SCENE● Costume – every day casual
clothes for school for the Bella, Jessica...
● The Cullens are all wearing white clothes, to contrast to Edwards dark clothing. This creates attention for Edward.
● Lighting is natural from the lights in the room and the windows behind.
ESTABLISHED CHARACTERS● The two tables suggest the Cullen's and Jess don't
have a good relationship, this could suggest rivalry or a high school hierarchy.
● Jess – the popular one● Bella – the new girl● Edward – the heart throb/outcast● The other Cullen's – the outcasts
