Tv Drama - Cutting it extract
In what ways does “Mise-en-scene” generate meaning in the extract?
Setting:
- In a taxi, means that they are going somewhere but it is not said where they are going.
- Hospital, they turn up at the hospital and the guy has a sudden realisation of where they are and begins to question the women to why
- Filmed both interior and exterior, studio and actual location
- Consultants office, uses of shadow and looking down onto the women and the doctor
Props/Objects:
- As he runs towards the women who has just been hit by a car, he seems to not even take notice of the chair in front of him and knocks it down on his way over, which makes it seem more disastrous/serious
- When the women and doctor are talking he closes the green folder, green is the colour associated with good luck and healthy well-being
- Flowers, can be linked to funeral = death
- Ring, sitting waiting for her he strokes his ring with his thumb, shows he is thinking of her, emotional
Clothes:
- Dressed similarly, long coats, generally smart
- Middle aged
Colours:
- Black taxi’s
- Ambulance
Cutting it
Follows the traumatic life of hairdresser Allie Henshall, alongside her lovers, her rivals and her dysfunctional family.
Genre
The extract gives a good incite to the drama show. It represents it is a drama, by using scenes involving love and danger, and most importantly it uses action to keep the story alive.
