Connotation
Camera angles:
Wide Shot as the establishing shot – used to set the scene and focus the make it clear to the viewer that it in an interior location. Because the women character is already present in the scene it introduces her.
CU of girl’s face, with door in the background – this is to firstly show the expression of the girls face before and whilst the door is opening.
Focus pull- reinstates to the viewer that another character is entering the room. It is an effective way of having two situations in the mise en scene but focusing the viewer on one and then alternating the focus to the other section in the shot.
ECU of shoes – shows that the boy is not just standing stationary after entering the room but walking towards the girl. The sound that the shoes make show the power of this boy over the girl as she, as we are already aware, is sitting down consequently waiting for him to enter. Therefore showing a representation of gender being possibly the male character having control over the female.
High angle, over the shoulder (boy) shot – this consequently backs up the fact that the male is dominating the female in this situation because the higher angle shows the male to be above the female therefore showing that he has more power over the situation.
CU of girls face – shows her expression to the dialogue that is taking place. What it focuses on is that the girl in the scene is moving her eyes up towards the boy. This could symbolise trust and she is focussing on him and therefore is listening to what he is saying.
Over shoulder (girl) shot – this elaborates that it is the boy in the scene is speaking to the girl and you can still see the girl in the shot, as the camera angle is over her shoulder. But the focus is on the dialogue of the boy and it makes it clear to the viewer that what is being said is focussing on the girl. Though the camera angle is inline with the girl, it still shows the boy to be higher than her simply because he is in a higher position in the frame due to him sitting on the table and not on the chair at the table. Therefore showing the gender roles even more clearly.
