MEST 2 research and planning

The inbetweeners

Camera- The camera shots that are in this clip are smooth. There are panning shots, below shots, close-ups, long shots, medium shots, over the shoulder shots and birds eye view. There are good camera shots being shown which is good as they can get all of the right aspects in place. The birds eye view is being shown in the beginning as when the characters are getting out of the car one by one. This is a good technique that is not often shown in programmes.There was a below shot when a character was throwing an egg at the main character towards the end of the clip. This is a an another technique that would make the viewer want to watch more.
Lighting- The lighting in this clip has got more natural light to it so not much artificial light is being shown in the clip. As this is set at a school they had to show whats going on at normal school times and set it at the right times of day.
Actors- The actors in this are the main characters There is a group of 4 and they are all good friends. They are all similar to one another and have known each other throughout their high school years.The characters are all dressed in school uniform so younger people would be interested in watching this programme as its a comedy and they are teens.
Make-up- As these are male characters they wouldn't wear much makeup, even though make-up is important when on-screen. The makeup they are wearing must be very subtle and natural.
Setting- The setting here is set a high school/sixth form. This is meant to be set at a school as they are wearing school uniform and need to be shown at their school. They have to make sure that they show this as their audience need to be able to relate to them and be able to see where they attend.

Editing: In this clip there is fast-paced editing when the two kids are running away after shoplifting. This creates tension and it represents how young kids are influenced by crime and are getting into gangs at very young ages.
Characters: The characters include young kids, teenagers and adults who are all part of a London gang. The clip also shows how each of the types of characters contribute to the group and how their roles are played. The ages of the characters is vital because it portrays how young kids/teens main focus is to do with crime and the younger generation as the main ones who are associated with gangs.

Narrative: The narrative focuses on dodgy deals or committing crimes. For example, two young kids are in trouble for shoplifting.
Setting:
The setting of the whole clip is shot in London where crime levels are the most. The urban atmosphere shows how the youth who live in this part live their lies and how majority of the youth are influenced by gangs. 

Sound: The opening of the clip uses diegetic sound when the conversation between the men take place. However, when the clip moves onto the clips in the store running away, non-diegetic sound it used. The music is an upbeat, urban instrumental to reinforce the pace the kids are running away at. This creates an adrenaline rush.

Sound:

Throughout the clip an urban instrumental is played to highlight how the programme is targeted at teenagers who are used to this genre of mainstream music. 

Mise-en-scene:

During this clip there are props such as the music equipment in the studio to reflect how the teenagers are ambitious about making music. In this day and age many young teens have pursued an interest with music and this clip reflects this well. 

Characters: 

The characters in this clip are introduced as typical enthusiastic teens who are ready to work; the males are more aggressive, in a subtle way, in comparison to all of the females. The males introduced at the beginning of the clip are presented as being mischievous while working.

Setting: 

Most of the clip takes place in a professional photography studio to present how a photo shoot is taking place, then it is transferred to a music studio. The settings show the work ethic of the characters who are pursuing their ultimate dream which is to be recognised in the music industry.
