The Gloaming

• Why are long shots used?:To show the location/surroundings to the audience.
• What is ‘non-diagetic sound’?:Its sound/music that isn't there and is played under the natural sound that we the audience can hear it but the character can't.
• How do we know she is bending down to pick up the ring? (what shots are used and why?):They use Elliptical editing to shorten the sequence of her picking up the ring and still makes senesce to the audience and allows it to be shot in different shots e.g. close up of face then shows a close up of her hand picking up the ring then back to her face looking at it.


Hustle
• Overhead establishing shot – what does this achieve?:It sets out the scene and the character places around the room.
• What is Shot-Reverse-Shot?:Its cutting back and fourth to show characters appears to be talking to each other and making eye contact.
• What is Eye-line matching?:Its when there are two people talking to each other and when the camera is on them there eyes will appear to be looking at the other person e.g. Person one is standing and person 2 is sitting so person 1 will look down and off camera and person 2 will look up and off camera, so it looks like they are making eye contact while they talk.
• Why do we cut to the other members of the group?:To see what there reactions to each other and how they react to the leader telling them the plan and to show there faces.
• What is a wipe?:Its a transition its used to move from one location to the other quickly.
• What is the effect of using quick cuts?:It creates a fast rhythm and keep the audience on there toes.
