CAMERA MOVEMENT:     0.05 - 0.09: Pan     The camera moves across the scene slowly from a low angle, showing the interactive glass. This makes the object seem important. The upward angle makes the character seem power ful or in control      0.13 - 0.16: Handheld     The camera shakes a bit here, which makes the scene feel nervous and tense. It creates suspense and makes everything seem much real.      1.05 - 1.13: Crane The camera moves smooth giving a wider view.

  WWW: You have made a very positive start in GCSE Media – well done! Your fruit bowl is superb – you’ve really captured the Autumn palette beautifully.  I like the answers to your first 10 questions and personally am delighted to see you’re a cricket fan – we will need to have plenty of discussions about this as the year progresses! I also really like your analytical writing for mise-en-scene in the Stranger Things work – I can see you’ve clearly been doing good work in English lessons and that is helping you in Media already. Keep up the good work!     EBI:  One thing to address – you have missed the second half of the denotation and connotation work.

Things like capital letters, apos...

It seems secretive as if something serious and confidential is taking place
