Narrative

In this scene a group of young adults are having a conversation about homosexuals and how that some of the group think that you would be able to find out if people where homosexual by the way they dress and act. While others think that it is a lot harder to tell because not all homosexuals wear the clothes that is branded that most homosexual wear.

Costume


There is not a lot to show of the boys costume but from what he is wearing you can kind of guess that he might be represented as a chav. You can kind of work this out by the costume the boy is wearing is a hooded jumper and has the hood up.


Camera


During the scene the camera pans around the room of students to get there reactions as things are being said, this might also be done so you can see the kind of people that are in the meeting and the different types of characters that can all be brought together to share there opinions about a subject. They also use CU and MS of the people.

Location

The location was in a classroom at Watt High School, in the city of Portland, Oregon. The school was an old abounded school that they thought was perfect to film it. They then got kids from other schools to be in it.

Lighting

The lighting is done so that nothing is hidden in his face and the audience can see that he has nothing to hide. They use key and fill lights to get the natural light.

Performance

The actor is sitting kind of slouched on the chair which could show he is bored and is not really listening to the conversation.

Props

The blind in the background is dark and they have made him wear a dark jumper with the hood up which could be that he wants to hide something but the light on his face shows that he has nothing to hide because there are no shadows on his face.

Framing

The framing on this character is that he is centred in the frame and although in the scene they pan around the room they fact that he is centre shows that he is the person who we should be focusing on.
