Preliminary exercise: TV drama scene

 1)  Top boy- clip stef and ZT get back on mails 
the mise en scene of the nice cars (from the money they made through drugs)
the empty petrol station suggesting that it is late at night so no pedestrians will see to help them. 
the costuming of the tracksuits and the bally (face masks) being used as it is an typical UK road man/gangster costuming which builds the British culture feeling 
the props of guns being used and pulled out builds up tension as the audience as on edge waiting to see if someone will get injured
the mid shots during the fit to show multiple people fighting then the close up when they are speaking to show the facial expression clearly build up more intensity 
furthermore the tense non dietetic sound builds up more intensity  

2) power- ghost gets Tommy out of jail
the mise en scene of the court law room and the costuming of the jumpsuit that Tommy is wearing, the judges outfit and the lawyers wearing the professional clothing 
the evidence being pulled out on the paper makes the audience feel more included
the intense music gives a intense build up until the audience hear the verdict  
the close up shots of the facial expressions show how the characters are feeling 

3) snowfall - Franklin kills Andre
there is cover the shoulder shots to show the intensity between the dispute between both characters 
the music stops and then he gets shot there is a build up using non diegetic sound 
the gun being held in hiss hand pointing down could make the audience anxious

Filming times is 12-4pm (before it gets dark)
Filming days is some point in the half term this depends on how the weather.
