13th legion re-do
First shot is a panning wide shot. It allows the audience to see various characters dressed in the Roman style, therefore acting as an establishing shot that tells us details such as the year, and also we can see some of the building so we get an idea of the location. The camera moves in relation to the action of the scene. Abruptly, the character’s shift from relaxed, slouching about, to upright and ready. This shows someone important is on their way and the camera moves in relation to this, panning across to locate the important person and zoom in to a Mid shot, bringing full attention onto them, reinforcing their superiority.
Another establishing shot is used. The camera pans across the many soldiers, lined up. This shot establishes a large army has formed, all mimicking the upright, readiness of the soldiers in the previous shot, thus showing they too await the presence of Caesar. Although this is set outside so there is much open space, instead the impression is of quite cramped, tight conditions. The soldiers are positioned in an ordered formation with very little space. However, a large path area has been made between the soldiers so that Caesar can move freely. This demonstrates his superiority that he, alone, has the right to space and to be comfortable, while the soldier’s wants and needs are insignificant and unnecessary.
As Caesar walks in-between two rows of soldiers, the camera tracks him in a medium close up of his face. Soldiers are seen behind him with the backs of heads of more soldiers briefly appearing in front of Caesar. The camera moves quickly, preventing any details of the soldiers to be taken in so that they cannot be viewed as individuals. None of the soldiers have any form of emotion on their faces either. They are blank and controlled, yet match the serious grimness of Caesar’s expression. Again, this removes any individualism to the characters. Instead the audience is made to keep focus on Caesar and view the soldiers as props to the scene.
The camera changes to view Caesar from the front, walking towards the camera. A man bends down to allow Caesar to use him as a step-up to his horse. Angling is important here as it is at a very low angle, so that we are on the same level as the man who bends down. This establishes the fact that Caesar is superior and the audience are made to feel they are on the same level as a man who has to do something as undignified as being a step-up onto a horse.
Throughout Caesar’s speech the camera will cut from close ups on his face to individual or groups of soldiers. When the focus is on him the camera will linger for a much longer duration because these shots are used to make us pay attention to what he says as well as the expressions that go with them. With shots of the soldiers, the purpose is purely to see how they are responding to his words. This means these shots are much shorter because it is quicker to get across. Overall, Caesar keeps his face bland of any dominant emotions. Instead it is fixed with a grim, controlled anger and determination. However, when the camera cuts to the expressions of the soldiers they have as lot less control and display vivid emotions of anger and passion. Everything about Caesar is carefully controlled and this shows his superiority and greater intelligence to others in the scene. What’s more it portrays him as being almost inhuman. The audience cannot connect with him on a personal level. They do not get into his head and learn his darkest of thoughts. Since the soldiers display such vivid emotion it is possible the audience could end up being drawn to them. This is another reason why individual shots of them are kept so short. Through these techniques all focus is kept on Caesar and Caesar alone. It should also be mentioned that a low angle shot is used for the close ups on Caesar to reinforce his superiority and importance. Soldiers, however, are seen at eyelevel. Like with the low angle shot before, this causes the audience to feel on the same social level as the soldiers. The fact that within shots of the soldiers more faces of other soldiers can also be seen in the background also adds to keeping them generic. With Caesar the background is bland, being just the sky, making sure he gains our full attention and that we pay attention to what his saying without distraction.
Use of sound helps affirm the importance of Caesar. There is complete lack in non-diegetic sounds. No music is used in the scene. Instead there is otherwise silence except for the quiet tweeting of birds, footsteps of Cesar as well as the movement of the soldiers when told to do so. This sounds co-inside with the use of costume relevant to the Roman times, as well as setting in order to help create a more authentic effect. Dialogue in the scene is very much controlled by Caesar. The soldiers are only ever allowed to speak as a group with simple noises of agreement with his speech and those characters who do have individual speaking parts only ever are able to speak if they have been addressed to do so by Caesar. Furthermore, the tone used by soldiers talking to Caesar is often etched with nervousness in contrast to the commanding, confident bark of Caesar. These things help inforce his authority.
Within Caesar’s speech the editing involves a lot of Cut in, Cut away shots. At times the shot’s are not close ups of faces, but wide shots that show off the location. This helps re-establish the location as well as flaunting the scale of Caesar’s army. It can be used to show the full mass of his army reacting to his words, reinforcing his superiority and power, as well as allowing his movement’s on his horse to be shown.
What’s very effective in forming opinion and showing status of Caesar is the fact he never matches the eyeline of another character. Throughout his speech he holds his head high in order to help his voice carry further, but also to keep him more impersonal. Even when he calls to the character not wearing roman uniform to come in front of him and he behaves as if interacting with him, he still looks up the whole time. Never looking the man in the face. The gesture of handing over money to the man is very exaggerated as he holds it above his head for a while, before throwing it to him. From this we know that he is not talking to the man for the benefit of that man, but for the benefit of the crowd. Caesar is making a performance out of rewarding a man he considers noble so to encourage his army to be also. Caesar asks the man questions, yet all the while he keeps his head upright, toward the crowd. From this we know there is not choice to the questions. The man is expected to give the answers Caesar wants. He is acting as a prop for Caesar’s speech.
One character in the army is made to have our attention drawn to him. Every so often the camera will cut to him at mid shot. Initially, he stands out because he’s not dressed in the Roman uniform and he’s centre of the shots, but another technique used to pull focus onto him is that he is the only one who looks towards the camera. While the other soldier’s have only the sides of their heads shown, his full face is caught on camera. Audience perception dismissed the other characters in the scene as mere background.
Colour and lighting is highly important for the clip. Black/grey and red are the main colours on the screen. The low-key lighting but natural lighting creates many shadows to keep a tense, moody atmosphere that shows the seriousness of the scene and suggests sinister things are occurring. Red will also tie in with this as it is associated with danger as well as the thing this series is known for, lots of bloody scenes.

Paragraph on lighting in Bleak House
A lot of the lighting is natural. This fits the era set as they had no electricity. Any places lit up are done so with candles. Overall, the light is low key giving a very moody, gloomy atmosphere to the programme. Variations in lighting amount are used to effect. With sad characters such as the pale faced, blue eyed girl and the upper class woman light is made to light up their faces, whilst keeping the background very dark and dismal. This makes them stand out, surrounds them in the darkness that represents low emotions, and also has the effect of making them quite ghostly in appearance. Lighting is used at times as a flash of light to fill the screen and enforce the idea of storm, being the lightening.
Dr Who – Planet of the Ood
Music is dramatic as the Ood advertisement plays. This, combined with the deep voice over build up tension and a dramatic effect designed to grip the watcher into the scene. Then, in contrast to the previous tone, a pleasant voice of one of the Ood cuts in. This fits with the expectations of Dr Who; dramatic and gritty at moments, yet with lit up with humour also.
The advertisement finishes and the music stops dead. This silence acts at telling instantly of an atmosphere shift, as well as making a sharp differentiation between the two scenes, confirming this scene is not part of the advert. The man who is in shot speaks in a rude, angry tone, making him instantly dislikeable. Essential for the plot considering what is to happen to him. His voice also has a dominant tone, showing he is a person in power within the business. Diegetic sound is used a lot with clicks and background noises. These SFX help make it more authentic. Non-diegetic sound in the form of music kicks in. To begin with it’s quiet, but screechy. It is a sound that suggests danger, helping build tension. Suddenly, the Ood murders the man and the music becomes more dramatic and much louder. The music helps reinforce the action on screen. However, in contrast to it the Ood speaks in a rather formal, calm way as it says “have a nice day” and yet there’s a cold, sinister tone to it. This draws the interest of the viewer. What’s interesting about the voice of the man who was murdered is that it made him a very unlikeable character. Therefore, although the audience would see the Ood as evil, they don’t see them as evil if he’s been a likeable character. This is important in showing the Ood aren’t actually evil characters.
The titles of the show starts with the iconic theme tune, recognised instantly. Just as they come to end there is the effect of a sound bridge as the well known sound of the Tardis is heard, leading into the next scene. This sound also acts as an establishing sound as it is always the same sound and is recognisable as meaning the characters are in the Tardis. The non-diegetic sound of a dramatic motif helps set the scene. The type of music fits the genre of sci-fi perfectly, as well as being quite fun and jokey. Characters talk in very high, faces paced voices in influence feelings of excitement and adventure.
For comedic effect the moment the, before excited, character Donna open the Tardis door there is an abrupt change in all sound. Diegetic sound is no longer of the Tardis, but of fast windy conditions. Non-diegetic music dominates the take, being much louder with longer notes that suggest a more powerful tone. This tone is increased as the Doctor delivers a passionate speech, in a happy, yet dramatic voice. Again, humour is used when it turns out Donna is no longer listening and in fact has disappeared. On realising this the music abruptly changes back to the happy, jokey motif, previously used in the Tardis scene. This sudden change not only acts as humour, but also shows the initial shock of the striking landscape they’ve just walked into has now gone.
Another music bridge is used as the motif remains, even as the locations changes to an establishing shot of a large, formidable looking building. However, on the moment it cuts in, everything changes. The music suddenly sounds dramatic, creepy and evil. Instantly, the viewer is made to dislike the place and the people who work there. They know something is not quite right about what is going on here. The man who is obviously in charge due to how he is reacted to by other characters and his presentation on screen is also made to be a character of instant dislike. His voice is gruff, sarcastic and angry. In contrast, a female character within the scene has soft, pleasant tones to her voice making her instantly likeable. Figure expression also helps the viewers identify her as being a nice character. What’s more, she is the only one in the scene with an accent, therefore making her stand out vastly. By doing this it singles her out as being unique and makes her gain the audience’s attention. Often, in Dr Who the Doctor and the assistant will meet at least one character in particular that will be on their side and help them. By being likeable, as well as unique this would suggest she is one of these people. Other characters fade into the background. The only other character who is noticeable is another man who talks very quickly and very nervously. However, his tone of voice does not make the audience sympathise or like him. In fact he’s quite irritating and is another unlikeable character.
Use of Sound in Doctor Who; (S4E1: Partners In Crime)
The Doctor and Donna are accompanied by the same incidental music, which will vary slightly in accordance with the scene, throughout this clip. They appear to be on some kind of a mission and so the music represents this also with an almost James Bond action sound. However, it’s playful and cheeky as well. Considering the doctor’s personality it helps capture the fun and eccentricity to his character. From this we get a likeable appeal for him. This music also works at linking Donna and the Doctor, showing they’re taking part in the same mission, by having the same music for both of them. The fact they are also parallel edited so frequently into one another’s storylines tells the audience this also. Dietetic sound tends to follow the Doctor and Donna. Phones will ring, film projectors click to help improve a sense of realism. On entering the building there is a sudden ring of a phone and someone’s voice is heard welcoming them to the building. This helps the audience establish where it is that the characters are and what kind of a building it is. The use of diegetic sound also makes these characters seem more a part of the background. They aren’t seen as important and do not stick out to the other characters.
When it comes to the Adipose lady the music is drastically different. The power of silence is used to great effect, as often her entrance to a scene is marked by a complete lack of diegetic and non-diegetic sounds. Phones stop ringing, background chattering stops and the music temporarily halts. These things make the character seem sinister. She is instantly recognised by everyone as a person of great authority and power and to the Doctor Who audience she is also recognised as a Doctor Who Baddies. After a while, the Doctor and Donna’s motif starts up, but this time much quieter. When it does start up it had been the moment that the Adipose lady held up the ‘weight loss’ pill. By doing this the effect is created of making a link between the pill and the Doctor and Donna. It is a subtle way of telling the audience that the pill is the source of the mission. It is going to be the cause of the events that are later to follow. Throughout the Adipose lady’s speech there a moments where the music stops again. At times instead of this it is a different kind of music; a much softer, slower paced incidental sound. This happens in moments where she is saying particularly important stuff, or she is no longer pretending to friendly and polite, but cold and cruel.
Use of sound and music all help transform and manipulate the opinions of the audience on the characters or show their status. With the Doctor and Donna we are made to like them, however, in contrast, the sound helps makes us dislike the Adipose lady.

With shots of the soldiers, the purpose is purely to see how they are responding to his words. This means these shots are much shorter because it is quicker to get across. Another effect is that it disallows too much attention being drawn to soldiers so we do not sympathise with them, as individuals but see them as almost being 2D characters, without their own identity. Through this all focus is kept on Caesar and Caesar alone. It should also be mentioned that a low angle shot is used for the close ups on Caesar to reinforce his superiority and importance. Soldiers, however, are seen at eyelevel. Like with the low angle shot before, this causes the audience to feel on the same social level as the soldiers. The fact that within shots of the soldiers more faces of other soldiers can also be seen in the background also adds to keeping them generic.
