1 1. in this
first shot we can see the logo for the production company of this film in which
case is universal, when this is playing the universal theme tune is also
playing. The first thought of this is that the production company is a high up
company and is very well know so you would expect the film to be good and have
high quality.
2 2. In the second shot it shows a close up of a
parcel slamming onto the table, the parcel shows the character’s name, location
and shows a stamp at the top which shows that it is a business envelope and
that it is air delivered. During this there is a loud bang noise which is Foley
sound to emphasise the importance of the parcel and draws the audience’s
attention to it.
3 3. In the third shot we can see the main character
sitting at his desk looking as though he is in deep though concentrating on
something, this also adds to the tension of the parcel as he is thinking about
the parcel, this creates an enigma as to what is in the parcel. In this Foley
sound is used for the sound of him clicking his pen, this shows he is bored/
impatiently waiting for something. In this shot he is in a working/ business
environment so we can see that he is at work.
4 4. In this shot a close up is used to show the
man’s expression of him opening his parcel. He looks concerned and worried. The
digetic sound of a voiceover showing what he is thinking is used to show what
the parcel is, before we see it so that the audience can think what it’s about,
the voice over says ‘I don’t think anyone on their wedding day’ this gives us a
bit of background about him so that the audience can get to know the character.
5 5. The fifth shot used cuts to a point of view
shot, this is used to show what the characters looking at and gives the
audience a perspective of what the characters thinking/feeling. This shot shows
the divorce papers which came from the parcels, the voiceover says ‘imagines
that they will be the 45% of people that doesn’t live happily ever after’ which
shows the audience why he was nervous to receive the parcel, this gives us some
background about the character.
. 6. This shot is a cut shot and a close up of one of
his colleagues informing him about his job so she may be a messenger. In this
she says ‘just heard we got the Quaker oats account’ this shows that he is
successful in his job. The background is slightly blurred out so that the focus
is on her.
7 7. This shot then cuts to a close up of the man
again showing him smiling sarcastically responding to what his colleague said
this shows us that he doesn’t really care about what she’s saying. This may
show that he doesn’t like his job. He is in the left of the shot which shows
that he is an important character and brings the focus on him.
8 8. In the eighth shot a medium close up is used to
show his surroundings and to show his movement, in this we can see that he is
putting the divorce papers away and packing up his stuff. A voice over is used
to show him thinking ‘trying to figure out how to get kids to eat cap n crunch
instead of froot loops’ this gives the audience some background on his job, the
tone of his voiced sounds stressed and fed up this shows us that he probably
doesn’t enjoy what he does.
9 9. In this shot a wide shot is used, this shows his
environment I a bigger perspective, it shows that he is in a sky scrapper
building so he works in a business environment, his office also looks quite big
so this shows that he may be quite high up and has a large role in his job. We
can see him putting on his jacket so it shows that he is getting up to go somewhere.
The voiceover used in this shot is ‘but Tuesdays and Fridays are my favourite
days, I get out of work and pick up my daughter mya’ this shows that the day is
either a Tuesday or a Friday as he is going to pick up his daughter, also it
shows that his job doesn’t get in the way of him seeing his daughter. This
shows that he has a family and that the divorce is not only affecting him but
also his daughter.
