Diary of a cool girl

-Eyeline match: awkwardness of handing over the money
-Embrassed face of the boy, while the dad rumaged through the bag
-Action match from the wheelchair to the bed
-Eyeline match drawing attention to the girls awkwardness of the situation
-Noramally she is confident but feels awkward because of the boys disability (she becomes scared to touch him)
-Shot-reverse shot establishes the girl locking the door & the boy being vunerable (being seperated from his man)
-Long awkward silences (no soundtrack)
-Eyeline match - the fathers eyes looking up - then we see the apartment
-Discontinous which shows his state of mind feeling anxious (he fidgets around)
-Slow music, privileges the master shot which shows she is incontrol & more confident than him

-Unfinished sentences
-Awkward silences
-Asynchnous sound, he turns off does not reflect his mood, hits horn - anxiety and protective over his disabled son
-Sound bridge - cross cuts from anxious father scene to the bedroom
-Soundtrack - sad soundtrack, enthasises pity

Sound

-Diegetic: sound from within the story
-Non-diegetic: sound from outside the story
-Soundtrack: music chosen to go with a scene
-Scoring: writing the original music to go with something in the scene
-Sound effects: sounds added in post production for creating an effect (i.e tires squealing)
-Theme: soundtrack which goes with certain situations or characters
-Ambient sound: natural sound occuring int he scene (i.e. cup rattling in the cafe)
-Dialogue: actors speech (intonation/accent)
-Sound-bridge: the soundtrack starts in one scene and continues in another scene, (bridges across helps continuity)

Continuity editing

-Invisible editing: makes action flow smoothly
-180 degree rule
-Eyeline match

• Shot A: looking
• Shot B: what looking at

-Cross cutting: building tension, cutting from one scene to another. Showing 2 scenes at the same time, which suggests this is happening simultaneous narratives.
-Action match: smooths out the motion, help makes the edit invisible. Divorce of continuity. A motion that starts in shot A and finishes in shot B.
-Graphic match: used to draw attention to a theme, two shots chosden for graphics similarity
-Shot-reverse: used during conversations
-Transitions: when we go from one shot to another

• Cut (hard cut)
• Dissolve/crossfade
• Fade in or out
• Jump out

-Montage: shots chosen for thematic relationship - often used to development + to 'crunch' time
-Pace: how does the edit affect the mood through paces
-Privileged (more screen time) : characters
-Marginalisation (less screen time) : characters

Monarch of the Glen analysis

• Starts with a dolly shot
• Medium long shot pans to over the shoulder (shows costume of the young girl)
• Dolly shot in close up emphasizes her uncertainly of not knowing how to drive
• Wide shot to present a new scene/location
• Medium long shot to establish what the headmaster is wearing
• Pans between the characters, the camera goes up and down to represent age through the height difference
• Camera goes down onto her eye level (begin to feel sorry for her, where as before we was unsure about her because of her lies)
• We establish the new location using the long shot (the room is old fashioned representing age)
• Medium close up is then used to show the world at the young girls prospective
• Wide shot is used again to show new location 
• Series of camera moves to represent age, tilt onto a stuffed animal, tilts to revel the goodbye note, then a pan to revel a teddy bear with another note
• Slow zoom into the photograph which emphasises her emotion, which show her inexperience of how to deal with a situation
• Camera is outside looking in which is representing Amy being outside looking in, she has been cut off by everyone
• Medium close up, appreciating the lady looking out the window looking for Amy
• Back to the man's eye level as we are experiencing the guilt of him 
• Low key lighting used throughout
• Finger wagging punishing the young girl, tantrum throwing her arms down and running out the room represents immature behaviour which occurs in teenagers
• Camera focuses on props (magazines, teddy bear, childlike writing) representation of young age

Camera shots (composition) & camera movement

Camera shots

• Two shot - two characters showing their faces
• Over the shoulder shot - camera aimed over one shoulder. Feels as if your the character (dominated speaker)
• Birds eye/high angle shot - can show the surrounding, also makes them looks small/vulnerable
• Low angle (eye level) - power, intimidation

Camera movement

• Never use the word movement
• Pan - camera is pivoting (will scan over a scene)
• Tilt - pivot up & down
• Tracking shot - following the scene
• Reverse tracking - point backwards and moving backwards while following a subject
• Dolly shot - small movement (smooth)
• Crane shot - when its up on a crane to move the camera up or down
• Zooming in/out - when the camera zooms in or out (pull the audience into the scene to help them feel the emotion of the character)

Analysis:
This clip shows a women struggling with her life due to her job, this leads up to a suidical attempt. Through this stereotipical clip it shows women are weaker than men as the character 'Ruth' cannot handle her work hours & it all become on top of her. Also the stereotype that men always save the women has be shown in this scene represented by the men finding Ruth, men are known to be heros & come to the rescue which we have seen.
