Representation of Class :Merlin

Editing (STOPS)

·         Screen time mainly showing lower class.

·         Pace is fast when the characters are fighting.

·         Order is chronological showing a lower class person’s basic life.

·         Walking farm animals wearing dirty clothes conforms to the stereotype of them being manual labour.

Sound (MCDOVED)

·         Music is parallel and there are no diegetic sounds.

·         Music is eerie when they are in the forbidden place- women in shot is fearful.

·         ‘I’m a nobody’- dark lighting.

·         ‘What are you doing in here’

·         ‘Let him go’

Mise en scene (CLAMPS)

·         Costume- purple princess, royal long dress, knight in silver armour, rags- tatty. Representing different characters.

·         Props- chalice, crystals- drops the hitting thing.

·         Actor- lower woman is alone, upper class is supported.

·         Lighting- posh face at the end, never on lower class face. First see lower class in dark lighting.

·         Setting in a lower class environment.

Camera (FAMS)

·         Angle- high angle, long shot looking down at fight on the floor, caused by lower class.

·         Mid shots- facial expressions, Close ups, looks behind shoulder.

·         Hides behind a lot of objects stay out the way.
