Blackpool analysis

throughout the film,i have noticed key aspects that tell us what type of media language is represented in the film.at the start of the first scene ,we see the camera coming into middle view,showing a symmetrical house ,this includes the furniture and the position were the man and women were both sitting .The music at the background was tension filled,and overall quiet average .the fact that their house was quiet all the same length and size told us that they like to keep things very to the state of perfection,and the fact that the house looked quiet old ,like the 80s style ,told us some what of there age ;also the way they held themselves (for mature and grown) also told us that they were quiet old .


As the camera moved to where the husband was,this is what i recognized as the first protagonist identification,i noted that because he was the first one that the camera turned to ,he was the main focus of that scene .This scene is centered around a daughter coming to introduce her parents to her much older boyfriend ;the camera consistently closes up on the husbands facial reactions as the boyfriend of the daughter comes in and meets the parents .


the reaction to this is shown by the intensive music and the way that the camera goes to the father then the boyfriend then the father again .This tells us the reaction formed from what the husband has seen the boyfriend .The close ups were regularly followed medium shots ,and this indicated to us that there was a lot of concentration within what sort of facial expressions were taking place within the limited conversation .


Part of the mise en scene was when the daughter got defensive of when her boyfriend was being practically interrogated by her father,the mother however was a bit on the soft side agreeing with things and laughing ,however because of the close up on the facial expression of the father ,i noticed that he didn't seem to happy with his daughters choice in men .


following up ,when the daughter made an excuse to that her boyfriend and her had to tend to something,it allowed us to also see that the couple both got uncomfortable ,when they had left then viewed the husband undressing in his bedroom with his wife in the bedroom also ,she seemed to not be effected by the cause of what happened early ,however the husband noticeably was .The lighting was dim and yellowish ,and again we saw the symmetrical the bedroom was shaped .I viewed it as giving the clip an old 90s /80s effect which then told us that the husband and wife were very old fashionable people ,and the fact that they where also wearing bright and patterned clothes ,and the daughter was wearing smart and more or less suitable clothes for someone whom was on there way to a meeting,told us that the parents probably tried to appear younger than they were and the daughter more older since she is with a much older man .
