                                                           Donnie Darko

The mise-en-scene in this clip suggests that the female character is a therapist or social worker due to her professional attire whereas the male character seems to be in a casual t-shirt which could infer he is a young boy who could possibly be talking about problems with a girlfriend. This link has been made due to the jump-cut to a flashback of the boy and a girl jumping on the trampoline. Other than this jump-cut there are only straight cuts used back and forth between the women and the boy as they are in a conversation. The pace of the clip is normal, its neither slow, it flows smoothly and at a decent pace through which the audience can clearly understand the conversation, this clip is also continuity editing. Additionally, there is an example of juxtaposition because of the continuous use of the eye-line match of both characters looking at each-other. Furthermore, the shot at the beginning of this clip is a wide shot and it is also a birds-eye-view shot as we are looking down at the characters jumping on the trampoline. In addition to that the clip consists of medium shots after that but towards the end the shots have zoomed into a medium close-up. Also, the sound at the beginning of the shot is non-diegetic because the music playing at the back has been added during post production, the music sound is also parallel to the scene as the characters seem happy and the music being played is soft and relaxing. Moreover, the sound during the rest of the scene is diegetic as the characters are having a visible conversation and the only sounds being heard are their dialogues. Research suggests that this film is targeted towards teenagers, specifically those who enjoy psychologically based films.

The Falling

The mise-en-scene in this clip suggests that the female protagonist is a teenage school girl as she is wearing uniform, the women seems to be either the girls mother or teacher due to her sophisticated hairstyle. Additionally, the bell could signify that this film may have some horror or thriller element sine films of those genres do include props like bells etc. Furthermore, the clip in some places is a montage as it consists various different clips which don't follow a chronological order however towards the end of the scene there is continuity editing. Also. the pace of the clip is slow at the beginning, it then gets fast during the middle and then goes to a normal pace towards the end. In addition to that, there is an example of juxtaposition at the start when we see an eye-line match of the girl looking at the women doing her hair. On the other hand, the scene starts with a big close-up of an ankle with a bruise on it, it then straight cuts to a close-up of the back of a women's head which then straight cuts to a another close-up of the girls face. The clip then jump-cuts to a medium shot of a girl having sexual intercourse in a car which jump cuts back to a medium close-up of the girl. The clip then jump cuts to the montage of a variety of different clips placed together in a fast pace. This then goes to a medium close-up of a bell to a wide shot of a school. Moving on, the sound at the beginning of the clip is non-diegetic because a voice-over of the girl has been added. This voice-over continues to play as a non-diegetic sound throughout the clip up until the montage. During this there is once again non-diegetic sound however it is now music of a buzzing sound which is also parallel to the clips as the clips are moving at a fast pace. This then goes to a diegetic sound of the bell and school crowd making noise. 

iLL Manors

The mise-en-scene in this clip suggests that the main character is a teenage thug who contributes in drug taking and distributing. Also, the uniform attire makes it evident the other characters are police officers however the female protagonist is this specific clip is presented as more of a mature character and this is also due to the fact that she's a social worker. The setting of this scene is on a road near a alleyway, this suggests that the narrative of this story is based around young thugs on the streets. Furthermore, the sound throughout the scene is diegetic. The beginning of the clip starts with a wide shot which then goes to a medium shot of the boy. However in the background we can spot a group of teenage boys who we assume are rapping and this is the case as the scene then straight cuts to a medium shot of a group of boys rapping. The sound then is a conversation on the phone which is diegetic as the boy is holding a phone, after this the scene consists of a conversation which is diegetic sound. In addition to that, the clip mainly has medium/wide shots and it also is continuity editing as the shots follow a chronological order. The pace of the scene is normal as there's nothing dramatic going on, the clip simply consists of conversations. The target audience for this clip is young teenagers who enjoy movies about the struggles of life on the streets.

 

                                                         It Follows

The mise-en-scene in this clip makes us interpret the main female character and the other characters are in casual attire because they are in a school and the setting is in a school and we know this because the start of the clip set in a classroom and school corridor. Additionally, the character wearing the white night gown is the ghost-like figure and we can interpret this because what the old woman is wearing doesn't fit in with the setting. On the other hand, the clip begins with a wide shot of a classroom, there is then camera movement of panning from the teacher speaking to the classroom to a medium shot of the female character. This then goes onto a eye-line view of a establishing shot outside the window. The clip then goes back and forth from the medium shot of the girl to a wide shot of outside the window which is an eye-line view of the old woman, this then zooms into a medium shot of the old woman. This then goes to a wide shot panning movement of the girl leaving the classroom. After this the clip consists of a tracking shot which follows the girl walking out of the school and being followed by the old woman. Furthermore, the sound at the beginning of the scene is diegetic because it is a teacher speaking and the shot is also of a teacher in a classroom. However, there is non-diegetic sound of horror music being played when the girl identifies the old women outside the window. This element of music continues to play throughout the part when the girl is in the classroom and it gets louder as the old woman gradually gets closer to the school. The non-diegetic sound then changes to dramatic music being played while the girl is walking in the corridor and this also gets louder as the old women follows the girl out of the school. Also, the clip is continuity editing and the pace of the scene begins slow but gets fast paced along as the music gets louder- the pace at the end of the clip is very fast paced as the girl is running away from the old woman. 

Appropriate Behaviour 

The mise-en-scene in this clip suggest the female characters are mature women rather than teenage girls. The setting also emphasises this as its in a lingerie store and older, middle-aged women are more likely to shop there. Furthermore, the scene starts with a wide shot of the store which then straight cuts to a medium shot of the female characters in the store, this then cuts to a medium close-up of the worker which then cuts to an eye-line view of the main female character, the clip then cuts back and forth between medium close-ups of all three female characters when they are talking and then medium shots of them all standing. Additionally, the clip is continuity editing and follows a regular pace due to the clip only being based around a conversation. In addition to that, the sound in the clip is diegetic sound of dialogues, however, there is music playing in the background which gets louder towards the end of the scene but we are not sure whether it is diegetic or non-diegetic because it could be music playing in the store or music that's been added to the production to prevent silence at the end once the characters stop talking. The target audience for this clip will be homosexual teenagers as this is based around homosexuality but also for all late teens and adults in general as it consists of parties and the late teenage/adult life.
