Maureen

pushing her
pram to a
workplace
with her
baby.
Ian and Dave
have tension
building between
them when they
are in the house.
When they are outside
on the field, Ian and
Dave have start arguing
an Ian's character is
beginning to show
suspicions that
something bad is going
to happen.

5. Technical Editing - Sound
• The drama uses non-diegetic sound at the
very beginning of the drama. A very
upbeat song is used as the female
character is walking, maybe to introduce
the setting.
• The drama also uses a regional accent to
add to the realism of the drama, which
then provides you with information on the
location of which they are at.

6. Technical Editing – Mise en
scene
• The drama uses high-key lighting to set the scene and
location of the drama, but soon turns to low-key lighting,
maybe foreshadowing that something bad is going to
happen.
• The drama has purposely picked out those outfits for the
characters to contribute to the realism of the drama, but
to also set the era of the drama, so from the outfits that
they are wearing we can guess that is set around the
60’s.
• Also the outfit of Ian Brady, is much more of a higher
standard than the rest of the characters which shows he
is of a higher class.

7. Technical Editing - Camera
• The drama begins with an establishing shot to set the
scene and location of the drama.
• The drama regularly uses close ups of each of
characters so the audience can get a clear
understanding of how the characters are feeling.
• A high shot is used when Ian and Maxine are
looking down at Dave, suggesting that they, particularly
Ian, has more
power than Dave and maybe that something is going to
happen between
them.
