Camera shots Use of close up to engage a facial expression so the audience can understand what is going but also shows the mood she is in. in this case Pandora is seen to be upset.

We used medium shots to develop both the facial expressions and the body posture of the character. With this shot it also enables the audience to see the mise en scene in the scene.

Whereas the long shots enable the audience to see the mise en scene telling them where they are situated but also with involvement of a normal house with no unusual attached creates realism but also for the audience can relate to.

To mimic an normal, generic soap we add mystery by using over the shoulder shot without showing face to add mysterious suspicion to make them watch again. But also in the distance with a half naked women. This show a gender performance of her being weak as she is seen to be having a one night stand.

I find my best shot was when we had a medium shot of sapphire walking up the road but then changes to a long shot of Sierra straight after. This adds depth to the location as if we a looking down an alley way with her in the distance.
