sound in 'Diary of a cool girl'

In the clip ‘Diary of a cool girl’ it starts off with the boy the father and the girl meeting at the door, as soon as it starts it goes into an awkward conversation. This helps us understand that because of the girl’s job and the fact that the boy is disabled that it different and that the awkwardness is among the three in the atmosphere.

In the next part of the clip the father pulls out an envelope at this  point of time ambient and dietetic sounds are used to  emphasise that there is money in it to prove to us that she is a call girl, this make it more awkward as the conversation has decreased to the minimal too.

Moving on, when the father leaves the room the girl goes to lock the door, ambient sounds are used again further to shot that the boy feels awkward and anxious as his father cannot get in f he is in trouble, there is a bit of a conversation going on but it is not like a full sentence conversation more stuttering than anything. This make the viewer feel sorry for the boy as this would have been easier if he was not disabled.

When the father get in the van sound effect are used, lowering the window then up, moving the seat back and forth, pressing the horn, this suggest to us that the father feels restless and anxious for the boy, this shows how protective and caring he is towards her.

In the final part of the clip an sound bridge is used from the van to the boy, this is also non- digetic. This sound bridge is a harmonica this is used to show sympathy and sadness toward the boys’ disability this is proven to us when the boy and the girl are sitting close and the boy gets anxious when the girl touches him. There after the ambient sound is faded out toward the end of the scene.

How editing constucts the representation of disability

In clip ‘Diary Of A Call Girl’ continuity editing is used throughout the clip, this is because the they want to keep the editing unseen otherwise known as invisible editing, right from the start of the clip cuts are made to build up the tensions and awkwardness in the atmosphere of the three characters, this could be representing the disability of the boy. 

To represent the boys disability a eye line match is used where the girls eye line is much higher to the boy this build up a sense in which he is looked down as and incapable, there after a cut is used to show the father this also shows the awkwardness of his part to this scene and how uneasy he feels about it, a low angle eye-line match is used to represent to the audience that the girl has more power pose to the disabled boy this could also be referred to the fact that the boys disability is cause this. This helps the audience show that the representation of disability is there.   

Match on action is used for the part of the clip where the boy ask his father to pick him up and put him in the bed this is used to emphasis the view from both side of the people. This helps us see the seamless and continuity of the action. There after eye line match is used to show the vulnerability and and how apprehensive

the boy gets when the girl locks the door as he feels unprotected that his father cannot come protect him in need. The shot reverse shot enable the audience to see the awkwardness and silence of the boy because of his disability.

When the father is outside this is called a cross cut as this shows the father and son in different environments and presumably outside the flat where the boy is at the moment. this shows to the audience that the father is very worried and scared for the boy because of his disability, this shows us that the father is very protective and caring over the boy. That also shows us that because of his disability he has to have his father around him.

while the father is in the van, a series of jump cuts, this is where there is no movement in the camera but the father is restless and anxious because of his worry for the the disabled boy, when this clip retracts back to the boy it shows that much time has passed as the boy and the girl have got much closer and touching. Further cuts and editing is used to show to the audience that editing has been used and that the time has passed by easily for the boy unlike his father.

Anaylisis of camera movement and composition on Monarch Of The Glen

The clip starts off with a dolly shot, this enables the user to see the set in full and enables the viewers to see the workers at work, this sort of labour is usually associated with the men not children.

The scene swiftly changes to the next one in which the set and the costume of the young girl changes to show contrast, a medium long shot and a over the shoulder shot is taken to show the importance of the young girl in this scene, this enables the audience to see that how big of a contrast her age is to the other workers and people surrounding her.

In the next scene where the girl is asked to drive the vehicle they have used a dolly shot and a close up shot to capture the facial expressions and gesture. This help us understand that she can’t drive and that her age lacks to what she intended it is to be.

The next scene presents to us the car crash where a wide shot with a high view is used to show what and where it has happened, there after the headmaster is shown in a medium long shot this helps us establish that the anger is caused by the disappearance of the girl as well as the car crash.

The next scene shows us the age and size different of the two men this is shown using pan and tilt this enables the viewer to see it for them self. The next bit is shown from a low angle shot when the two men are back in the house this shows to us the power and authority these men have compare to the others.

To show the location the scene is shot at an extreme long shot, there after a mixture mid shots and close up is used to emphasize the hard graft and strength of the men.  A series of tilt, pan and slow zoom is used to show us the feeling and emotions of the girl when her belonging is left behind this enables us to understand that her child like attitude present to us the representation of age .

Finally when the women runs to the man a mid-shot is used to emphasise her emotion and feeling towards the girl, after the camera runs at the same height as the man to capture the guilt and sadness of him as  the clip ends.

"Monarch of the glen" clip - representation of age.

the representation of age is given out in this clip with a lot a evidence ,from the start it shows that the working class men are at hard labour in there overalls and heavy machinery,this suggest that it is not a environment where children should be in.
there after two young characters are presented in a more relaxed and casualy dressed manner,this clip use's clothing to imply the age of these characters.when the young girl gets into the car, her body language indicates that she is not aware of how a car is operated this also shows us that she is not the age that she has said to be.


there after the car crashes into another man's vehicles which we later discover to be the headmaster of the girls school,when the old man arrives on scene they show him out as a teacher with the way he is dressed and the typical wear and a old Volvo car. when the girl is confronted by the headmaster she cowardly hides behind the man which shows child like action which also shows us the true age of the girl,body language plays a key role in succeeding this.


when the headmaster and the man go into the office that shows that the place if very aged and mature rather than modern and youthful, the wooden work and bricks and the polished wooden furniture suggest a classic look with age,the use of location and props really work to bring out the age of the characters, furthermore the way the brandy was presented also shows a form of class and age.


the girls room is presented with objects that suggest that she is young such as a teddy bear, girl magazines and pink lanterns decorating the mirror. These props are used to  shows that  the age of the girl is not what she make it out to be .

AS Media Key Concept

There are four main media language types that we have discussed about today which i will go through on in this post,these four are the critical things that actually matter to having a successful review.

• Cinematography- this is the way a shot is taken during a recording sesion such as birds-eye,mid-shot and close-up. this takes up many key factor to how a film looks at the end, these shot can cause tension,suspense and detail.
• Editing-this is a way the shoots are produced when they have got all the clips together, this ensures that the clips run smothly over using transisions and do not overlap and cut each other off.
• Sounds- sound are nessary to create moods and tension to a movie as this can make a sense seem much diffrent to when it is being played muted,there are two diffrent types of souns the ones which the people on set can hear and the ones which are editied in which are for the viewers.
• Mise en scene- this s everything in the scene including this like setting, location, lighting,make-up, costumes, and body language.

The second key concept of media is representation,this is how a certain person is represented using the fellowing:

• Age
• gender
• Ethinicity
• regional identity
• Ability/Diability
• Class/social status

The third key cocept is Audince and institution which in we will be tested about the whole film idustries relationship to each jobs such as exhibiturs and producers.
