Jake

• No experience
• Exaggerate

• powerless

Now when watching the clip think about how you the clip let you know these characteristics.

Pay attention to:

Use of camera - what do we see and how do we see it

1. It starts by showing the whole restaurant then slowly follows Jake until he’s alonzo then after it uses shoulder level angle to see both of them but still can see Jake’s emotion

Use of editing - who is on screen longest, what shot follows which shot

1. Alonzo appears in the screen this shows the importance of alonzo

Sound - what they say, how they say it, what music do you have.

1. Music starts with the radio in restaurant to give the audience the atmosphere of the restaurant.

Mise-en-scene - what does the way they are dressed or what props they have - have to do with their character.

1. The way Alonzo dresses shows that he is a higher class people than Jake because alonzo shirt,pants and jacket they all match but for Jake it seems like he just wear anything he can find
2. The colour of Alonzo’s clothes are all black this could mean that he is a bit cold in the inside.
