Chené Harris  Brainstorm ideas/plot of PT2 Abduction With having an induction short film this will make it so easy to add in our chase-scene  This film will create suspense and worry for the viewers  Girl abducted - the little girl being abducted will come across quite weak, scared and vulnerable  The man abducting the girl will come across as strong, unafraid, powerful and come across as weird, scary, less vulnerable.

Chené Harris  ’EastEnders’ Essay  We are instantly aware of all the different ages coming from this extract. We understand that this because we see it in the first shot, this shot is also showing us a mid-wide. This shot clearly shows us a younger man holding a phone with three other individuals standing behind him almost as if they are listening in on the conversation he is having. The ’older’ people standing behind the young man show that they may also have some sort of pitty towards him. This here shows a stereotypical view on the older generation and how they are generally always nice and caring they are towards the younger generation. We then get introduced to the same younger generation as before yet different, this individual is a young pizza delivery guy - his hat is facing backwards giving the audience a representation that he is quite informal and almost shows that he is trying to be someone he may not actually be.  This here is another stereotypical ...

Chené Harris  ’homeland’ essay  At the beginning of this clip, the scene starts off with almost a wide long shot portraying to us the city of Baghdad with a voice-over - not knowing which character is talking. This technique can be used to keep the audience interested as to what is going to happen and where the plot is going to start. The use of diegetic sounds has been used at the opening of this clip to give the audience that city feel of it being overcrowded while the diegetic sounds are being used there is also the use of an establishing shot. This clip also contrasts of both wealth/status and race/regional identification. We are instantly shown how the wealth status is relevant to the clip, because of the buildings and people not being properly dressed/ not being looked after properly - as they would be if the city of Baghdad was a wealthy city (like in America when the scene switches to the African American male who is on a call with our American female- you can ...
