Emma

The scene I have chosen is around 5 minutes into the programme. It is of two women talking, Miss Woodhouse and Miss Fairfax. The latter, Miss Fairfax, is asking the other to lie about her and to cover her up by telling the family that she isn't there anymore, and that she has gone home. Miss Woodhouse replies in her favour. The scene ends with Miss Fairfax talking about walking alone.
The use of pan is to show that the two ladies are connecting and talking to one another. An establishing shot has been used when miss Fairfax walks towards Miss Woodhouse, showing all we need to know such as the setting.
The last shot we can see is a shot-reverse-shot. This is probably the most common type of shot used throughout the whole scene. It is most common when both characters are speaking. Shot-reverse-shot is when the camera is pointing to the person speaking and alternately changed according to the dialogue. Throughout the entire shot-reverse-shot, the 180* rule was not broken once. A medium close-up is used at the beginning of each conversation. From the audience point of view, this shot helps us see the character's body language, aswell as minor face expressions. This can be used to see the characters' feelings. This shot soon zooms in and changes to a normal close-up, showing more facial expressions.
