Anaylse of Friends clip

In the friends clip there are a range of shots within the episode. Firstly it starts of with an establishing shot which is in the appartment this allows the viewer to see where the location is and gives some context of where the action is about to take place.

 Then this leads smoothly into a medium close up where Monica is asking Rachel to talk to her outside
this is affective as it just puts the focus on Monica by allowing us viewers to see her facial expressions, features and even though we cant see that Monica is talking to Rachel her eye contact shows this.As well as the monlogue indicates Monica is talking to Rachel. As Rachel walks out into the hall way with Monica the long shot is used. This is used to indicate that there is just rachel and monica in this senerio and it is used to capture a large area of space. Also long shots are used for more then one person which there is. As Monica and Rachels conversation happens the over the shoulder shot takes place. This is the most common shot to be used in a conversation. At times in there conversation there is a medium close up shot this is just there to brake up the over the shoulder shot so it isnt overused or the audience get bored. It is also there to see more detail into there facial expressions and reactions. After there conversation has ended there is an extreme close up on Joey when he opens his door and asks if he can help with anything. This is because Rachel has ran into her appartment and not allowed Monica to come in which is why Monica is banging on the door to be let in. Extreme close up is used to focus on a particular part of a person e.g the face,eyes,mouth or hands. These shots can create a feeling of intimacy as shown in this clip and they convey a mood or emotion. Finally Monica is let in and this flows through to a master shot. This is where it shows the limit of the action which in this case is the table area. After this the other the shoulder shot is used again as there is a conversation. This conversation also uses a slight shot reverse shot where the camrea is on Rachel but Monica is speaking this is to see Rachels expression and reaction by hearing Monicas voice being the response. Lastly there is a medium close up shot where Ross is not in the shot any more but Rachel and Monica are. The meduim close up is used as the director only wanted to see there wasit up and this shot is very ideal as it is mainly used when someone is delieving information and as Monica is gesturing with her arms this allows the viewer to see her arm gestures very clear and allow them to be fully in the shot. This follows through to the long shot where they hear the banging noise of joey trying to brake in without realising monica has already managed to get in the appartment. The long shot is targeted from there legs and above. This is used affectivly as re-establishes the scene of the clip and the long shot is followed through to where the sound is coming from.

Mise-en-scene
Rachel is wearing a a very smart dress and has put a lot of effort into her hair and makeup this suggest she has been out with friends, family or even a date. When she walks in the appartment ross is sitting down with scruffy clothes on and a sad faacial expressions. This indicates he is feeling very low this conveys he is weak and powerless. Rachel sits down to his level to express her sympathy towards him this implies she is a very caring and kind person.

The apparment is very modern as the furniture is up to date and the open planned layout indicates a classy side. The window leads out to other appartments which is why i can suggest they are living in an appartment. There is alot of furniture which suggests they accomadate for a lots of people. The walls are basic and a simple colour which conveys the appartment is for unisex but overall the house is very colourful which suggsts that the charcters of friends arent dull charcters.The kitchen space has a table and chairs which suggest they have a sit down meal which is very tranditional. The kitchen is full of recipe books which shows the person who lives there could have an intrest in cooking. The appartment is very organsied and tidy which conveys they have respect for where they live.

The hall way is very spaciouse and wide which also is evidence they are very modern people in a modern time. Rachel and Monicas actions are very exgeratted which suggests they are comfortable with there neighbours  hearing there drama. Joey who is there friend lives opposite them this conveys they are very close with eachother. There door is open and they are very releaxed about this. This could either suggest they have no crime or are not very aware of any crime happening. The hall way lights are very dull which sets the mood for Rachel and Monicas arguement where as the appartment has bright lights as this is where Rachel and Monica come to a decision with eachother.
