Video Analysis



This video has a range of different shots and editing, to make it seem high quality for the audience. Most of the video consists of a female character walking the corridors  throughout these scenes, there are a number of cuts, as she is seen walking from different angles: high and low. This makes a tension build-up, which may engage the audience into the storyline. 

A point of view shot is also used to make the audience feel engaged with the character also it lets them see what kind of atmosphere is being created. It allows the audience to see from the characters point of view, which adds to the tension of scene, and this may make the audience suspicious that something bad may happen. She walks to a door, and then the camera changes to inside the classroom. Then she meets a male character, who is sitting in chair, which looks suspicious, as his back is turned to the audience. This will make the audience wonder who he is and why they are meeting.

During the conversation between the two characters, a 180 rule is used, which allows the audience to see the entire scene and lets them see what kind of atmosphere they are in. You can see over whichever character is speaking, this allows the audience to see the other characters' facial expressions. We also used a over-the-head shoulder shot, which allows the audience to see the conversation in more depth and the scene looks more accurate. Low key lighting is used when the male character introduces himself. The camera tilts from his shoes up to his face, which creates suspicion that he may be the villain of the story. When he turns around, the lighting shadows his face, making him seem as the villain of the story, also the audience will be more engaged as they will be wondering who this character is and how he is linked to the female.
