Scheduling Details: BBC One, Wednesday, 7:30pm
Created By:Ann McManus + Maureen Chadwick
Producer: Various
Director: Various
Characters: Earl Kelly, Maxine, Janeece
Narrative: Earl is at Maxines home where he plans to shoot her as she doesnt want to be with him anymore. Whilst this is going on and they continue t dispute, Janeece sneaks in behind Earl and tries to take the gun off him, however he takes control and pushes Janeece away and accidentally in a 'moment of madness' shoots maxine. The scene ends with Steph coming home to maxine lying on the floor dying.
Mise en scene: The characters are all seen in uniform as they are students. The lighting is dim which shows mystery within the scene, and whenever Earl Kelly is shown, he is placed in the shadows, emphasising his danger and evilness. The setting is in an empty house, in order to emphasise the idea of no escape to the characters, when in the life threatening situation. It is in a standard family home, where the colour code is a calm red, which adds to the element of danger.
Sound: Behind the characters speech, there is a very quiet high pitch sound, with the occasional high piano keys. When the tension is building between the two characters, the high pitch noise becomes louder, and therefore easier for the audience to hear, this helps add to/build suspension for the audience.
Good observations Katie, you are thinking about how lighting has been used to add to the effect of the scene. (=) Consider the use of camera shots and editing.
