How have you created meaning through the use of editing, mise en scene, sound and cinematography

In terms of shots, the close-up allowed the audience to share a closer relationship and understanding of the central character. Being able to see the character’s facial expressions more clearly meant the audience could be taken into the world in the video action. Our intention was to create sympathy for the central character, and for the audience to make up their own minds of what lurks behind his mysterious veneer.

Mid shots were used as a means of breaking up the other shots – eg. Close up & long shots. As these other shots were quite deep in meaning and significance, the addition of mid-shots allowing the video action to flow better in between significant video moments and made the video lighter to watch – our intention, as it was closer to the genre specifics.

Long shots were used specifically to emphasize the isolation and loneliness of the central character.
