They then loo at working together to resolve the case that has been explained (new equilibrium) to restore order in the school.

COMMON ROOM:

The student walks up the stairs with a folder to put in her locker. Muffled song (diegetic sound) playing from her headphones. She walks into the room and to her locker. She opens the locker and a letter falls out. 

She looks down at the letter and then puts her folder away and picks it up.

Music stops as she takes her headphones off. Non-diegetic tense music starts playing. The girl walks downstairs and outside to make her way to the classroom hurriedly.

I am a private investigator and I am looking into

Finished recreation video scene

Link to original: (0:22 - 0:54) https://youtu.be/e8_Z7-97mIw Link to my video:  https://youtu.be/jYYWVSgewmY 100 word explanation: Me and my friends decided to recreate an iconic scene from Gossip girl where one girl being rude to another girl by not inviting her to the biggest party of the year. They girls wear sophisticated outfits to show that they are living their successful lives in the upper class world and to emphasise their class. There is also non-diegetic sound playing in the background, which creates tension and adds to the drama in the scene. The facial expressions of the girls reveal the personalities of each of the girls, which can also be seen by their behaviour in the scene.

Parallel and contrapuntal sound practical task

 My video link: https://youtube.com/shorts/UEMq9-koHfQ Description: I did a montage of images under the violin version of a pop music sound that connoted elegance with the violin sound but also brightness, confidence and happiness due to it being a pop music sound. This genre often emphasises excitement and energy into a media text. The first couple of images in my video are contrapuntal to the sound used as they are in black and white so they connote depression, sadness, and gothic vibes, which contrasts the sound and the following images of pop art and colourful pictures that are more parallel to the music playing in the background.

Mise-en-scene recreation planning

Mise-en-scene recreation - full task list: Create a blogpost called 'Mise-en-scene recreation planning' and complete the following tasks: 1) Get into groups of up to four. Note: although the planning and filming can be done as a group, all students  MUST  edit their  OWN  version of the chosen scene. Make a note of who you are working with. Done with my friends (group of 4 including myself) 2) Create a  plan  of how you will do the recreation using  CLAMPS . For each aspect of mise-en-scene, work out how you will recreate it as accurately as possible to the original.  PLAN: Costume- the characters on the steps are wearing classy outfits and look sophisticated as they are the ones who are in control in this scene. The character of Jenny is wearing pink clothing, which shows how girly she is and how she aspires to be like the girls on the steps. Lighting - scene is in broad daylight in front of everyone at a public place. Actor placement, movement, ...
