The filmimg procces
we had started filming on sunday the 5th of december.
our location of the movie was at the cheswick park during mid day we did succesed to do so and the shoot started off as expected and was completed within two and a half hours smoothly although the the weather was not how we imagend it to be as we wanted it to be dusk or foggy to build a diffrent atmosepher and feel to the movie but i hope that could be done through the editeing procces. it was great experince filming and useing the knowlegde learnt from the media lessons was a huge help for us as we applied it to the filming such as the use of camera , the angles and postions that could be used to create the film we want. the charcters that we used fo r the shooting were great to work with and it was alot of fun

verbal languge of 5 days
5 DAYS
there is a varity of verbal language used by the chracters in the episode of 5 DAYS
The first one is used during the flight the verbal lanuguage was a voice of screan of the captian of the plain states to ajust belt seats due to landing which was a diagetic sound.
verbal language was used to connect to shots toagther and to introsuce a new charicter this was when the the working class mother of three asked her own mother for the time it connected to a new shot where a women is shown answering the question the time date in a very diffrent situation introduces a women that seems like a journalist as she states that she doesn't have any news for to day and if there is it will be informed.
Connecting shots were used many times during this episodes through verbal language for example when the mother is in the car with her childern and the topic turns to flowers, the mother states " we know who like his flowers" as soon as this has been said the shot jumps to a old man watering flowers this suggest that he is theone that loves flowers.
like this there were many other verbal language that lead a narrtive thoughout the episode and this is used frequantily and in very intresting ways.
The language that genrely used in the drama was an britesh london accent. there are many types of lanuguge used by diffrent people like the women that had just landed from the plan was on the phone probably to a friend as she had used slang when she said the work offer she has recived was offering her 47K.

Analysis of tv drama
BYKER GROVE
Byker Grove is 30 minute long british tv drama featured on BBC. This is a light childerns drama amied at teenager's set in a school. we had only watched the beginning 5 minutes of the episode in class the opening demontrate the show is quite fast and upbeat.the episodeintroduces chracters in a very entertianing way, this is done through verbal language, it starts with a charecter talking and before the sentence finishies the shot changes to anather shot with a new chracter finishing of the sentence from the last shot this carries on for a few shot and in every shot new chracters are introduced and this is done through editeing. I found this very intresting and entertianing this is also shows that byker grove has a strong element in the show of verbal language like most tv dramas have. There are also many aural language used in this show many were diagetic such as the diologes but it also had element of non- diagetic sound and this was purticularly shown when the oriantial music was played on the background when the little boy looked over the writen language shown onscrean of the poster of the karte club this also estblishes the target audence of the show due to the many hints are given to the audence as young audence are seen as passive rather than active thinkers.
WHITE GIRL
white girl is a one of film episode showed on the BBC aswell. this is a very diffrent type of tv drama to byker grove as, it is easly recogniable in the beginning few minutes, it seems to be a very serious and a dramatic drama rovolving around social issues.The opening of the this drama show was foucsing to much on revealing the main charecter from a far distence a girl is vagueily seen on a small bike and aproches the screan when the figure of the girl is now vivedly seen as she passes the frame onscrean. this also indecates that it is a film show. the setting and the props on this show the staues of the white girl, the small bike the small flat with so many members in the familyand the clothes worn by the charecters were looked quite cheap and normel this is also established by the car that the family traveled looked quite old which indecated that the family was from the working class.
the drama had diagetic and non diagetic sound in this episode one of the non diegetic sound that was heard waswhen the family ran away from the man and there was a upbeat song playing to show the feeling and mood of the scene it gave a feeling of freedom although it was not heard by the chracters.
THE BILL
the bill is a police drama and this is shown through out the show because of the costumes and the chracters used in the show as children are not seen onscrean it is mostly middle age peaple in uniform discusing a crime in a confrence room. the target audence for this type of show would be mainly the middle and older generation that would watch a drama for a purpose and get a message.the verbal languge used by the chracter is quite formel intense also the verbal language is more dominating a visual language is also used in this episode to show the feeling and expresion of the chracters.

let me in
How do the film makers use the camera to tell the story?
there are many ways in which the directer uses the camera to tell the story. one of these ways were that in the middle of the story we find out the man that was portrayed as a father to the vampire, Abby. this was than corrected through the camera shot in the movie when Owen was in Abby's house. as he gets in he asks about her father and Abby replied by saying "he isn't my father" while Owen picked up a picture of Abby and the young boy with glasses, also the photographs seems very old via this the story was told by the camera and not by dialog, that the little boy in the picture was the person that lived with her but he wasn't her father but a guardian of Abby.
In one other scene the story is told via the camera was when the police officer was attacked by the Abby (vampire). the officer reaches out to Owen to help him and this shot was taken by the view of the character Owen that is looking down at the officer. Owen that walks forward and reaches his hand out in a dilemma between the door handle or the life of the officer, where than he decides to pull the door shut and this shows the commitment he will be making for the rest of his life for Abby yet again this was not spoken in the movie but illustrated by the camera.
Is the camera used objectively or subjectively?
there were many different shot in the movie that were used both objectively and subjectively
one objective shot was of the wide shot of the underground were Abby(vampire) was with a man and also when he he attacked by her.
anther objective shot was shown, when Abby claims the tree( wide shot) and then jumps down to attack the women( birds eye shot).
a subjective shot were when Abby was angry with Owen and started to blead this shot was seen through eyes of Owen.
one other subjective shot was oven under the swimming pool, as the boys outside the pool were being killed although this shot was not from the point of view of Owen but it was only showed the scene under the pool and not of the action outside the pool acting as a protective shield away from danger which Owen and the camera only showed what Owen could see.
how does the Mise en scene reflect the theme, genre and ideology of the movie?
the Mise en scene directly effect and show the theme and the genre of the movie, this is told through the sets as many of the scenes are very dark and dull giving a secretive and scary feel, especially when there were disclosed conversations. The clothing of the character of Abby as it would be impossible for a small girl to to not be cold in the snow and to be walking barefoot.it helped to show the genre of the movie horror. also the daylight was hardly shown in the movie most of the movie was made during moon light.
