Waterloo Road - Connor Tells Imogen He Started The Fire


The clip begins with a panning shot set in the middle of the woods with Connor walking through. The non diegetic sound in the background highlights that he is upset and sets the mood of the conversation he is about to have with his girlfriend Imogen. A tilt is then used to highlight his movement in being quite quick, this suggests that he has something important he wants to tell her and wants to get it off his chest in order to start fresh – with no lies. A long shot is then used to emphasis his arrival when he reaches Imogen, who is already waiting for him. “Sorry for what?”,  a close up is used to highlight Connors facial expressions in being sad as he is really sorry for what he has done. Throughout this conversation, they follow the 180 degree rule where the camera is cutting from one side to another as they speak. Another close up is used to highlight Connors sad emotions, this again highlights that he is sorry and wants to be honest with her. The non diegetic sound then fades back in again as she runs away, this highlights Connors feelings that he is sorry for what he has done. Throughout this clip, the audience can hear the non diegetic sound of birds in the background; this also tells the audience that they are out in the open air.
