Hollyoaks - season 18 Ep. 32

Gilly and Rhys start shouting and getting aggressive as Gilly slept with Jacqui. The scene then cuts to Jacqui who is about to go into her house to find her mum asleep and goes to her for comfort.

Camera

The camera starts with over the shoulder shots to show the expression on the characters faces to see how they react to the news about to be told. The shot then goes to a mid shot to show Rhys getting up and jumping on Gilly then as the conversation progresses and the characters get angrier they shot from under rhys so that he would look more dominant and bigger as he is the character who is angry and then it switches to Gilly looking down on him so that he looks more vulnerable and a lower power as he is the one who has done wrong and should look up to and be loyal to his friend but instead he slept with his girlfriend and should be looked down on.   

In the next shot Jacqui walks into it. it is a close-up so that you can see how she is feeling .then it is close up of her bags in her hand and the door and see walks towards the door which is light so it looks like she is walking into light and gives it a zooming out effect with shot stays the same until she reaches the door then pans with a close-up shot up the arm of the sleeping mum with a mug in her hand this could symbolise that she was waiting for her daughter always whenever she is needed.

Sound

In the first scene there is diegetic sound only. There is the characters speaking and some noise from the tv  this to so you focus on what the characters are saying and so that you get the right mood of the characters. The music on the tv gets quieter as the characters get more angry so that nothing draw attention away from who the characters are feeling and what they are saying.  The second scene there is non-diegetic sound and some diegetic sound there is mood music being played to shoe that there doesn’t need to be words to see how she feels and no words can be said she is that sad. The music being played is a soft melody of a keyboard and a man singing quite high pitched this makes the mood soft sad and not happy.

Editing

the first scene has quick cuts between every shot as the pace is quick and the energy is high. In the second the cuts are slower than the first ones  as the mood is sadder so if the cuts were quicker it would ruin the mood.

Mise-en scene

The location of the first scene is in a house living room in what is usually a relaxed environment the character Gilly is wearing darker clothes then rhys so this could represent good and evil as Gilly did something bad and rhys didn’t and he is wearing white. The second scene is outside to begin with it is dark with barley any light apart from light from the house which is like the light at the end of the tunnel the has all of her bags and is also wearing dark clothing which could indicate that she is also in the wrong and needs to look for the light as she need forgiveness.  In the house is light and looks warm as the mother is wearing only a small top. This playing on the stereotypes of the house it should be warm and welcoming which the daughter Jacqui needs.
