Locations; JJ's episode

Seeing as we have been doing so much class work on Camera and editing..i thought this post should be about LOCATIONS. WOOO
So I'm deconstructing JJ's episode this week =] enjoy.

  • First location is JJ's bedroom..it's messy and cluttered; this reflects the way he feels. He's uncomfortable and a little bit messed up. Also, we know that he hasn't been out of his room recently, and we wonder how the room came to be in such a mess.
    The motivated cut to the mind map on the wall, shows us what he is thinking about: his friends.
    Wall paper planets etc - clearly quite geeky.
  • Location 2 is outside his house. This establishes the kind of area in which he lives. Not too posh, possibly working-middle class family. As he walks out, the weather is dull, reflecting mood.
  • Next location is a mental healt clinic. Out side we see the sign that reads 'psycho(logical support)' showing us JJ's frame of mind. Inside, leaflets read 'Am I special?'.
  • Office environment; shown by filing cabinets, papers people in suits.
  • When he is with Emily, they are outdoors; the sun is now shining. weather is calmer, this is because they have both found a connection with eachother.
  • Freddie's shed: changed since we have previously seen it, pictures of the friends have been removed. Audience know they are having problems.
