Sound-Diary Of A Call Girl
Non-diegetic sound in the beginning its an end of a sound bridge from the previous scene where she opens the door. The sound makes the scene very awkward.As the father goes through the bag you can hear it very loudly. Sound track is helping emphasises the noise of the envelope this shows that its a business transaction.There is no non-diegetic sound track,the sound is very emphasis when locking the door. They not finishing they sentences because the call girl feels awkward. The locking of the door is ambience its recorded during production. The whole exchange is punctuated in silences making it awkward because of his disability. Its just to show that he's disable,but not to pity him. Sound track diegetic music played by the dad,its the opposite on how he's feeling. Its not comfortable for him in the van. This music was recorded there and then. Non diegetic sound track added from the scene from the dad,back to the room where it becomes very slow and mellow to reflect the dialogue and it helps to create the mood on how the boy feels.Harmonica is played for the "Blues" when something is sad,the sound track started to increase in the end and it started to faze.

Diary Of A Call Girl Analysis
How does the editing help to construct the representation of disability.
-Continuity editing is used through out the clip.
-Eye line match:transiting from the call girl,close up of her looking down at the disable boy and then followed by the father looking awkward to surrounded the exchange of the envelope .
-Match on action:first picked out the wheel chair,second is when he puts him down on the bed to show continuity actions.
-Cross cut:it goes from them in the room to the father getting into the van.
-Shot reverse shot:in conversation is also down to show,how they are it was a very quick pace.
-Eye line match:through the window of the father looking at the window where he just came from it shows his worry for his son.
-its in the same angle,but its a whole line of footage but its a jump cut.it takes out a passage of time to show how the person feels.

Monarch Of The Glen Analysis
The first part of the clip starts of with a 'Dolly Shot',we can see the tools that the men would use for hard labour.
The second shot is an over the shoulder shot and it pans across the scene,mid-long shot,showing the girl. Established the location and her costume.
The shot of her in the car is a close up,there is a dolly shot of how the girl looks confused about driving.
Once the cars hit the shot becomes wide and a long shot which also shows the lake at the back.
There's a mid-long shot of the headmaster,ant the crash,with smoke coming out of the cars.
The camera pans from Amy to her boss this is showing the height difference between them.
Then the camera goes into a close up to show the difference in age.
The camera goes into a low angle shot showing that the two men are strong and powerful.
When amy gets told of the camera puts us into her eye level to make us feel like were getting told of as well.
Extreme and wide shot(established shot) shows a scene of fields and a rainbow.
After amy runs away the camera tilts to revel the note she left behind,the camera pans so the teddy bear can be shown. The camera tilts and pans around the room with a slow zoom into the photograph.
Tilts from the outside and shows the room,when the adult walks in it makes us feel like amy.
The camera also show a shot of the window from the outside,to tell us where she ran away from.
The camera goes into a mid close-up showing the women outside the window showing her emotions.
The camera goes back up to the tall mans eye level,to show the guilt.The shot reverses back and forward to show the conversation.
The last shot is a close up of the mans face and it shows the guilt.

Mise en scene must include the following:
.Costume
.Setting/Location
.Props
.Lighting
.Body Language & Blocking
.Make-Up
Monarch of the glen is set in a farm it's based on the olden times. It's all about a young 16 year old girl named Amy. Amy is a young student she has an accent, and her outfits are very old fashioned. The girl volunteered to work at the village, but she has lied about her age.
The clip also shows a group of men, picking up tools. She is asked to go drive the truck but her body language and blocking show how uncertain she is about driving. She drives the truck, but hits into a car. The man she hits into is dressed in a suit very smart dressed but none of the clothes match, he looks like a headmaster.
Amy looks shaken after she hits the car into her headmaster. She shows through blocking how scared she is. The room where the man takes the headmaster is very old and it's made from oak panels. It's actually like an adult only type of room. They drink brandy which makes it an older scene.
Amy runs away, because of her behaviour it shows she's still a child Amy’s bedroom is very young. It's pink with teddy bears and magazines. This shows that the girl is very young minded and explains why she behaves like a child.
