The mise-en-scene used in this image is of a typical British house

of residence. Moreover, the costumes and appearances of

both characters (hoody, jeans/blonde hair) emphasise this

point, and therefore, “Britishness”.

The sound included in this particular scene is non-diegetic heavy rock, possibly portraying the

modern, British culture. The audience can compare this with traditional British society and draw a conclusion as to whether the culture itself has developed, or perhaps changed for the worse.

A tracking shot is utilised here. The audience are put in the protagonist’s shoes (Shaun) as the

camera physically follows his every move.

A jump cut is used here to foreshadow the next scene as the audience observe

a dramatic change in Shaun’s facial expressions as he arrives at ‘Liz’s’

apartment. His battle with zombies is considered humorous rather than

frightening because of this particular cut.

Natural lighting is used here to signify an

ordinary day. However, this goes against the

entire movie plot since the occurrences in the storyline are anything

but ordinary.

An over-the-shoulder camera shot is used to signify a discussion between both

characters. It makes the audience feel engaged in the conversation and usually

gives them hints as to what may occur in the climax.

The mise-en-scene is set in a pub called “The Winchester”. The audience interprets this by observing the various props used such as the

glasses of alcohol, the bar seen in the background etc. Viewers associate these

aspects with British culture.

The sounds used here are both diegetic (character’s voices) and non-diegetic (pub music). This

causes the scene to flow naturally and to appear far more

realistic.

The editing technique used here is a shot reverse shot. This is

included to indicate the start of a conversation. Often, secrets and clues are revealed to keep the

audience guessing as to how the plot will unfold.

The lighting here is dim,. This adds a

sense of mystery to the scene

and provokes a response from the audience.

The audience is

desperate to get involved

in the conversation

.

The mise-en-scene in this clip is of a typical British house. The producer

endorses the British culture by including a tea cup which audiences

automatically associate with “Britishness”.

Ambient lighting is

given off by the lamp in the image to form a

warm atmosphere

.

The sound used here is diegetic (voices). This adds a sense of realism and suddenly causes this particular

moment between a step-dad and his step-son to become a tense, but

compassionate moment.

The camera technique used is high angle. This indicates the power that Shaun has over his step-

father at this instant while ‘Phillip’ remains helpless with a broken arm. Camera works with sound as Phillip is physically unable to move, but uses his

voice to communicate. This causes the audience to feel sympathetic towards him.

The editing utilised is shot reverse shot. This is, again, included to indicate the start of a

conversation between the protagonist (Shaun) and antagonist (Phillip). The audience feel empathetic towards Phillip despite of his role in the movie as we see that he is unable

to face Shaun directly.

The mise-en-scene is set on a football pitch. This is a typical representation of “Britishness” as it is the

UK’s official sport. Moreover, the audience understands that this film is also set in England by the shirt she is wearing. The colours red and white

are evident on the England flag itself, thus, supporting this idea altogether.

The sound included here is diegetic and because of this, ‘Joe’ and ‘Jess’s conversation sounds far more sincere. The audience can

easily relate to their discussion and empathise with Jess as she shares her problems with

fitting in with the British community.

The camera technique used is a close-up. This is included to reveal

her confused facial expressions and from this, the audience notices how her gender, as well as her ethnicity,

clearly clashes with the England football shirt that the she wearing.

Natural lighting is used to indicate the time of day. This

allows the audience to distinguish night from day

also.

The mise-en-scene consists of pictures of football legend, David Beckham, hung up on Jess’ wall.

The audience understand the protagonist’s passion for sport and, therefore, automatically

relate this with “Britishness”.

In this specific scene, a tilt shot is used. The camera gradually tilts downwards above Jess’

head, indicating the significance of football as it, essentially, completes her. Throughout the movie,

we constantly witness Jess pushing away her Indian heritage as her passion for the sport shines

through.

Ambient lighting is included here (bed-side lamp) to

create a calm atmosphere where the audience see Jess reflecting about her struggle

to find her true identity.

The sound here is diegetic (Jess) and so her monologue is deeply heartfelt, whereas, if there was heavy music playing over this

dialogue, the audience would not take the speech as serious.

An establishing shot is used here to indicate the location of where action is taking place, which is, of

course, at ‘Jules's’ house (Jess’ friend) and to create context. Viewers can see Jules’ parents having a sensitive discussion concerning their daughter’s sexuality and as a result of this, a

certain mood is “established”.

The mise-en-scene is set in a typical house in England. This is evident by looking at the layout of the home itself (photo frames, flowers, traditional sofa). This, therefore, emphasises the idea of “Britishness” and

reinforces the British culture.

Natural lighting is captured here to indicate the time of

day. This helps the audience to understand the series of events as the day

progresses.

The sound is diegetic. The conversation that these characters are having about Jules makes the

viewers sympathise with the unfortunate circumstance that they

are in.
