Before the shoot, I drew a rough picture of what my shot would contain; the actors and any props. I also thought about what type of shot my still would be and which would be most effective i.e CU or MCU.
2. Analyse your chosen shot and identify in what ways it could be described as signifying your chosen TV drama genre/subgenre.
My chosen subgenre was thriller and i chose to signify this by the dark lighting and mysterious, hooded figure with a gassmask. The hidden face and girl in a headlock connote a threatening image and creates unease for the audience. The Mid shot of my character shows the emotion , but also shows enough of the figure in the background.
3. How did you intend the audience to interpret your still? What narrative moment were you attempting to create? What meanings were you attempting to communicate? (BARTHES NARRATIVE CODES?
I wanted the audience to feel tense as they try to anticipate what was going to happen next. The lack of information of the story creates enigma for the audience as they don't know what's going to happen next.
4. Identify what is successful about your shot.
I captured sophia's helplessness by having her in a headlock, and I'm happy about the angle of the shot as the audience is unable to see sophia's face - which was my intention.
5. What would you do differently if you were to repeat this activity?
I would plan the location of my shot and how the lighting will be. If i need it to be a very lit shot, i would do it outside.
