6. WHY I CHOSE THIS FILM?
● I chose this film and this scene, because I felt
the opening of the door and walking to their
seats was the most important part of the film.
● This is because the audience is introduced to
the main characters and the shot reverse
camera shots suggests to the viewer there will
be a relationship between Bella and Edward.

7. CAMERA SHOTS AND EDITING
● Close up of Bella, establishing her watching the
door, this prepares the audience for the
introduction of the characters.
● Mid shot of Jessica and Cullen's opening the door
and walking past.
● Establishing shots of each of the Cullen Couple,
to introduce the audience to the characters.
● Close up of Edward as he walks in establishing
his “beauty” and introducing the audience to the
main character.

8. ● Long shot of the Cullen's sat down
together, this suggests their outcasts, and stick
together.
● Shot reverse shot between Bella and
Edward, this suggests there could be a
relationship between them during the film.

9. SOUND
● Non – diegetic: really quiet base guitar
sounds, which becomes louder as Edward
Cullen walks in creating a climax.
● Diegetic sound: people talking to create a
realistic atmosphere.

10. ESTABLISHED SETTING
● This scene is set in high school in the
cafeteria, this is shown through the layout of
the tables.

11. MISE-EN-SCENE
● Costume – every day casual
clothes for school for the Bella,
Jessica...
● The Cullens are all wearing
white clothes, to contrast to
Edwards dark clothing. This
creates attention for Edward.
● Lighting is natural from the
lights in the room and the
windows behind.

12. ESTABLISHED CHARACTERS
● The two tables suggest the Cullen's and Jess
don't have a good relationship, this could suggest
rivalry or a high school hierarchy.

● The other Cullen's – the outcasts
