DECONSTRUCTION- Eastenders Car/Death Scene

Decontruction- Death Scene

                         
This is the deconstruction of the scene where the character, Danielle in Eastenders tragically dies after Ronnie discovers the truth, that she is Danielle's biological mother.

Danielle is wearing a white top as to symbolise purity and innocence with a yellow cardigan which is quite bright and is usually associated with happiness and sunshine. This is contrasting to the scenery which is quite dark and scary.

When Danielle gets run over, there is only blood on her face and not on her clothes. Simarilily, we may able to achieve the same effect using limited amount of blood so it will be on the face and not the clothes as we will need the clothing without it being ruined just in case we need to film earlier parts of the film opening again.


The scenes and constumes are very juxtaposing. Ronnie (mother) is wearing glamarous clothing which is completely opposing to the tragedy of events that later take place.
Danielle's clothing seems trendy, young and casual which hides the fact that she has been carrying around such a big secret.

This is a really good close up shot of Ronnie as it shows the deep emotion on her face and the fact that it changed from zooming in to Danielle's face shows the heartfelt connection between the mum and daughter and the beginning and end of their relationship.

DECONSTRUCTION- Greys Anatomy Death Scene

Deconstruction- Death Scene

We decided to use a close up shot zooming into or actor, Rolands, eyes. This idea was inspired by this scene in Greys Anatomy as it will show the actors last expression and we want our audience to really emotionally connect and understand the tragedy of this scene when watching.

We were initially having difficulties thinking of where the blood will be placed but after watching this Greys Anatomy advert, we got inspired and decided that mimicking it would be the way forward and effective for the atmosphere we are trying to create here.

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE- DECONSTRUCTION

Slumdog Millionaire

       •Throughout this film, the love story is shown through intervals of a tense game. The close ups into his face shows reality through his facial emotions and the intense sweat on his face and also as the camera is doing extreme close ups, it feels as though it also zooms into memories.

      •When the story follows the train track, this also represents the long journey that they will have in life to become reconnected. As a train has many important parts to it (carriages), these could also represent the significant parts in their lives. It may also signify that although they may seem to be close, there is always something breaking them.

     •The darkness and dirtiness shown in the beginning parts of their childhood memories could foreshadow the hard times ahead of them. It is all quite hard and horrid and could highlight the depressing days that they grow up to endure.

     •Many establishing shots are used to set the disgusting scenes of what poverty is like in India. Establishing shots were used to show slums, derelict rubbish dumps and also the immense and growing population involved in the poverty struggle.

     •Diegetic sounds were used to illustrate the situations people were involved in but did not show the images as they may have been too graphic e.g. in the building in which a two people were engaging in a sexual activity. A lot of the diegetic sounds gave the audience a true feel of the surroundings, eg it wasn’t all quiet when focusing on a particular character but all the surrounding, cars, motorbikes and dialect were involved in the background.

THE NOTEBOOK- DECONSTRUCTION

The Notebook

       •Oceanic sun-rise and slow pace music at beginning to set a scene of serenity  and  calm  which allows us to imagine this genre to un through the entire film.

       •Fade to black shot as the film begins may be used to signify the events of the film.

       •A narrative voiceover at the beginning speaking thoughts of the character and what his life entails and background information.

      •A mid shot to allow viewers see the simple surroundings of his room which could also reflect his simple lifestyle. This then leads to a long shot to exaggerate the points of simplicity in which he is living

      •Over the shoulder shots used frequently. Minimal high angle shots when main character is introduced by his name to show significance  and main role in the film.

      •Close up shots to show characters emotions i.e distress/happiness

      •Use of Flash back as the character tells a story it shows what had previously happened in his younger days

     •Eye line match where the young man is looking at the ferries  wheel where the girl is riding on it.

500 DAYS OF SUMMER- DECONSTRUCTION

500 Days Of Summer

      •Oceanic sounds opens the movie; immediately setting the tone, assuming the mise-en-scene will follow suit.

      •Commonly used voiceover introducing the films love theme (‘This is a story of boy meets girl...’). Gives the characters a bit of depth and background even before the plot is really underway.

      •Mid shot/Zoom on couple as mild but calm wind blew around them; representing the pathetic fallacy of the couple.

      •Commonly used Montage; happy, ‘loved- up’ past events

      •Costumes remained light pastel colours with sky blue and lack of make-up on female character suggesting simplistic approach

      •Close-up; couples hand in hand suggests their romantic bond

      •High angle was used when the leading lady was properly introduced by the voice over to the audience; suggests her significance to the story and to the life of the leading man and straight away gives an inkling in just how he will view her, .i.e highly or on a ‘pedestal’

     •The place common to both leading characters is established; where encounter would ignite their romantic involvement/plot (Work place)
