We have taken the dialogue from the clip we are analysing and typed it up to use for our recreated video.

Myself and my group have created a storyboard which will show an outline of how our own TV drama clip will be set out. The storyboard includes hand-drawn images and information which will give an idea of how each of our frames will look like including: camera shot, camera angle, camera movement, sound (dialogue) and mis-en-scene.
We have 4 important shots we have all planned to use, and those shots will have a combination of establishing, long, close-up and mid-shot camera shots. The dialogue's will have a mixture of both diegetic and non-diegetic sounds, which will make our clip more effective.
This is a clip from the popular TV show Waterloo road, of two girls fighting. My group and I will be using this clip for our clip analysis where we will deconstruct the scene using the important aspects used such camera, editing, sound, mes, representation and mode of address. It is based on a school issue which is bullying and fighting and representational issue used is social class. The representational issue here represents teenagers in a negative way because they cause a lot of trouble such as starting fights in the middle of school. It also represents elders in a positive way because a teacher comes along during the clip breaking up the fight.
I have analyzed a clip from a popular TV drama called 'Pretty Little Liars'. I chose a specific clip in I have analyzed its sound features. I used a variety of sound key words such as asynchronous and diegetic sound. This analysis concludes that sound is a key factor of all TV dramas, because it adds a dramatic and tension atmosphere to the clip, depending on what sort of situation as the sound may vary. This is effective because it entices viewers of the TV drama. I used the clip to analyze each scene and talk about what different sorts of sounds are used in each scene, from start to finish.

This is the specific clip which I have chosen to analyze the sound which is featured. The clip is from a popular American TV Drama 'Pretty Little Liars'. This scene was taken from when the 5 girls are on the Halloween train and they have just lost one of their friends; the clip lead on to find Aria trapped inside of a box. I have decided to use this clip because I can identify plenty of variation within sound aspects that are used in the different key scenes. This is of a great advantage to me when it comes to writing my sound analysis.
I have created a presentation on the different sound key terms used in TV drama or movies. I decided to make one because it will help me with my coursework when it comes to having to identify different sounds in essays or clips. Also, this will help me to have an advanced media vocabulary as sound plays a big role in the media industry. I have used to software Prezi to create this presentation because I thought it would be a good idea to have the key terms definition with a mixture of examples using videos from youtube to further help me understand and remember the definitions better.
CAMERA SHOTS, ANGLE, MOVEMENT AND COMPOSITION
SHOTS
Establishing shot - An establishing shot is usually the first shot of a new scene, designed to show the audience where the action is taking place. It is usually a very wide shot or extreme wide shot.
SHOTS
Establishing shot - An establishing shot is usually the first shot of a new scene, designed to show the audience where the action is taking place. It is usually a very wide shot or extreme wide shot.
Master shot -
is a film recording of an entire dramatized scene, from start to
finish, from an angle that keeps all the players in view. It is often a
long shot and can sometimes perform a double function as an establishing
shot.
Close-up shot - In the closeup shot, a certain feature or part of the subject takes up most of the frame. A close up of a person usually means a close up of their face (unless specified otherwise).
Mid-shot - The mid shot shows some part of the subject in more detail, whilst still showing enough for the audience to feel as if they were looking at the whole subject.
Long-shot - A long shot is essentially the same as a wide shot.
When referring to a person, a long shot means they take up almost the full frame height.
Wide shot - In the wide shot, the subject takes up the full frame.
Two-shot - There are a few variations on this one, but the basic idea is to have a comfortable shot of two people. Often used in interviews, or when two presenters are hosting a show.
Aerial shot - Aerial shots are usually done with a crane or with a camera attached to a special helicopter to view large landscapes.
Point of view shot - This shot shows a view from the subject's perspective.
Over the shoulder shot - This shot is framed from behind a person who is looking at the subject. The person facing the subject should usually occupy about 1/3 of the frame.
ANGLES
High angle - A high angle shows the subject from above, i.e. the camera is angled down towards the subject. This has the effect of diminishing the subject, making them appear less powerful, less significant or even submissive.
Low angle - This shows the subject from below, giving them the impression of being more powerful or dominant.
Canted angle - is a camera shot in which the camera angle is deliberately slanted to one side. This can be used for dramatic effect and helps portray unease, disorientation, frantic or desperate action, intoxication, madness, etc.
MOVEMENT
Pan - A pan is a horizontal camera movement in which the camera moves left and right about a central axis. This is a swiveling movement, i.e. mounted in a fixed location on a tripod or shoulder, rather than a dolly-like movement in which the entire mounting system moves.
Tilt - A tilt is a vertical camera movement in which the camera points up or down from a stationary location. For example, if you mount a camera on your shoulder and nod it up and down, you are tilting the camera.
Track - Roughly synonymous with the dolly shot, but often defined more specifically as movement which stays a constant distance from the action, especially side-to-side movement.
Dolly - The camera is mounted on a cart which travels along tracks for a very smooth movement. Also known as a tracking shot or trucking shot.
Crane - a shot taken by a camera on a crane or jib.
Steadicam - Steadicam is a brand of camera stabilizing mount for motion picture cameras that mechanically isolates it from the operator's movement.
Hand-held - he camera is held in the hand, or given the appearance of being hand-held, and in many cases shots are limited to what one photographer could have accomplished with one camera.
Zoom - this is not a camera move, but a change in the lens focal length with gives the illusion of moving the camera closer or further away
Reverse zoom - A reverse zoom is the camera movement which is the opposite of zoom. Where the camera moves away and expands the scene.
COMPOSITION
Framing - Shots are all about composition. Rather than pointing the camera at the subject, you need to compose an image. As mentioned previously, framing is the process of creating composition.
Rule of thirds - The rule of thirds is a concept in video and film production in which the frame is divided into into nine imaginary sections, as illustrated on the right. This creates reference points which act as guides for framing the image.
Depth of field - refers to the range of distances from the camera at which acceptably sharp focus can be obtained. This is a very important concept in video work, for two reasons:
Deep focus - Is a cinematic technique using a large depth of field. In deep focus, the foreground middle-ground and background are all in focus.
Shallow focus - Is a cinematic technique use a small depth of field. In shallow focus one plane of the image is in focus and the others are out of focus.
Focus pulls - is a creative camera technique in which you change focus during a shot. Usually this means adjusting the focus from one subject to another
Close-up shot - In the closeup shot, a certain feature or part of the subject takes up most of the frame. A close up of a person usually means a close up of their face (unless specified otherwise).
Mid-shot - The mid shot shows some part of the subject in more detail, whilst still showing enough for the audience to feel as if they were looking at the whole subject.
