Analysis of movie (genre:drama) 2

Imagine me and you


Camera shots:
After the Logo of 'Fox Searchlight' the name of the production house appears on the screen. than we see the wide shot of the girl staring at her alarm clock as if waiting for it to ring. after the alarm goes off she closes it and falls back on the bed. this shows that main character woke up earlier than the alarm and is anticipating for the comming day. Than in the next scene, an over the shoulder and close up of the characters reflection is shown while she is quickly brushhing her teeth. than in the next shot the camera pans as she rushes across the room to open the door. by far the mood of the situation is full of excitement and anticipation.
wide shot when the girlk  is looking at the alarm clock and waiting for it to ring. There is also an extabilishing shot of a flower house and than the close up of two ladies.this shot is taken from outside the glass window/entrance showing the reflection on the glass.

Then we see the mid shots and close up of the family members as they are dressing up. by tfar the audience has guessed thsat there is a special occasion. alkl shots are taken into canted angle and are steadycam with smooth pannning. shots here are quite simple yet they connode excitement and festive mood. Rule of thirds has been followed in every frame. Reverse shots are shown when  Rachel is complementing her father.


Editing:
In the editing eyeline match is shown when people are having a conversation or taking part in it. There is match on action shown as well when the mother of the main character is clipping her younger daughters hair. The is also an insert of another shot of a women in a flower store. No special effects or transitions are used. Reverse shots are shown when  Rachel is complementing her father.

Sound
We hear a diegetic sound of teeth brushing, The sound bridge of teeth brushing begins in the first scene after Rachel shuts the alarm and lies back. the diegetic music of  footsteps and alarm clock is heard.
non diegetic music is heard and the volume and the tempo of the music changes as the scene changes e.g the volume reduced and only the beats were heard when that scene in the flower shop was shown. The volume of the beats gradually increase when Rachel brushes her teeth and opens the door to let in her friends All this time an excited mood is conveying. sound mixing is also done here. There has been a sound bridge of someone brushing teeth as well in the first scene when she blissfully lies back on her bed. Few dialogues are heard after she receives her friends.

Mise en scene.
The shooting is done in natural light and in an apartment showing the morning routing of the main protagonist.
We see shots of bathroom, bedroom and of hall where everyone is pacing around getting dressed for the occasion. The main protagonist Rachel is not wearing much makeup when she is shown lying back on the bed and brushing her teeth but dresses up like a bride towards the end of the sequence with subsequent amount of makeup.The house is shown with light and cheery decor and the costume and the props show that they are getting ready for an occasion.
