HL task

The Hollyoaks clip begins with a long shot to establish the setting and situation. All persons are dressed in black and a young woman is riverdancing. The diegetic sound comes from a band which is playing traditional irish music. The lifestyle is influenced by the irish traditions, how we can see from the dance and music.
Then a serial of shots follows, first a medium shot which shows three persons on a sofa, then a close up from Bernadette and again the medium shot with the three persons. The camera is focused on the person in the background not on the dancing feets in foreground, this means they are more significant. The older woman seems really interested in the dancing and music, but the other two aren´t.
Obviously the action takes place in a middleclass living room. The typical looking floor, curtains, sofa and rest of furniture tells it us. But we cannot determine it directly. This and the costumes belong to the Mise en Scéne.

The dancing woman is a strong "main" character, she gets the attention from all other people.
After the next song begins the camera shows different close ups from persons they all see surprised. When the flute plays it worst note we can see a close up(the camera zoomed in short and quikly, it is called a reaction shot - creates enigma) from a face of a older woman on the sofa, this matches perfectly.
The irish music stops and we can hear a few quiete voices and this means something shocking happened.
It cuts back to a long shot like at the beginning(like a point of view or voyeuristic shot), but now we can see a man in a white dress (Kylie Minogue had something similar on in a music video) with red high heels and socks. This dress is a contrast aginst all the people who are wearing black.
While Chris is speaking the camera shows again close ups from older women, they are all shocked. ´Cause he is telling them that he´s bisexuall. The Granny becomes unconscious, we can´t see it but the amplified sound effect of a glass tells it us .This shows that it is, even in the 21th century, not possible to live his sexuality without being discussed. But the younger people show more tolerance then the older ones. So the lifestyle changed through all the years.
While the dialouge between Chris and his mother the camera cuts between close ups of them.

This and the next scene were linked with a sound bridge, which is showing the emotion (sadness) of the woman. An other image had been put over the medium close up.
The memories of her are black/white and blurry. Then a transition leads the memory back to the medium close up of her and it blacks out.
