Holby City

The scene I have chosen to analyse is around 6 minutes into the programme.
The main focus of this scene is the envelope which is being held, and what is inside it. The first shot used is the establishing shot, because we can see everything we need to know, such as the setting and other characters. There is also a use of pan, which follows the two main girls talking to one-another. As the pan is being used, there is also a 2 shot. We know this because there are two people in the shot next ton each other. From viewing this shot, we can almost tell that they are close friends.

The next shot used is the shot reverse shot. The shot revers shot is used for quite some time and is used throughout most of the conversation. Not only was the shot reverse shot used, but a medium close up shot is used for most of the conversation. This shot is used to show the character's body language rather than their facial expressions, this type of shot does not make this part seem intense. Another camera shot which has been used is a close-up. This type of shot is used to examine the facial expressions. This occurs when one of the girls takes out the letter. We can then tell that it looks very important. It could also show that how much the father meant to her, and it might be the last item she will have of him.
An extreme close-up is used on the keys that her father had left. This could also show the importance of that other item.
