Notes:
My notes and the candidate's notes were similar, but also very different because the candidate was a lot more detailed than I was. Camera- I wrote down the camera zoomed in on the washing machine and hammer and showed both peoples face while they were arguing, while also going back and forth between both. The candidate put several things such as, change of focus in the first setting, high angle and slight tilt as she comes down the stairs, zoom in onto washing machine, reverse shot during wife and husband talk, zooms in on main character, and close ups further on into the conversation. Sound- For sound both me and the candidate put, clattering of the washing machine and background soundtrack and the phone ringing. I also included the loud noise of the hammer to the head. The candidate included the wife's speech is dominated by washing machine during main characters thinking period, and dialogue and background noises. Editing- The candidate and I both wrote down the fading/transition of the scenes. The candidate added things like pace is slow and superimposition helps establish the setting the main character is living in. Mise-en-scene- Both the candidate and I wrote there was dim/low lighting throughout and dark furniture. I included there was little spotlight shown on the washing machine. The candidate included tones of grey and blue of the setting, highlights on the face, and characters have dull colored clothing. Write up: Similarities- We both started our write up by explaining the dull and gloomy setting, we also both included the washing machine being a bit brighter than the rest of the setting. We talked about the camera shot being close to the actors faces to show emotion and facial expressions. Differences: some things the candidate wrote about that I didn’t were, the light highlights on the actor's face, their appearances, the camera shots (medium and long), the main characters misplacement into society, the cold atmosphere, etc. Some things I talked about that the candidate did not were, how something made the woman upset in the beginning, the woman being passive aggressive and the man being anxious, the way she treats him, their failed marriage, what may have been going on in Lester's head, the poster being a sign, the soundtrack, how he may be trying to set someone up, etc.
