Denotation and Connotation

In this shot, there is a group of seven students in class. The director has asked for the students to look at the main boy to exaggerate the fact it is about him. Costume has been used to highlight the main character; he wears a bright white shirt and although the boy next to him is wearing the same thing, the girls head is covering making him less noticeable. The use of characters, also lime lights him by there being a lot of girls surrounding him making him unique. 

Here is when the girl first enters the classroom, distracting the class causing them to all stare at her. By all the students looking at her, allows the audience to know that this part revolves around her. The technique 'Rule of Thirds' has been applied to emphasise her because she it right in the middle. Although it's an extreme long shot of her, we know it's about her because of how the room has been set out; a lead way of equal desks balanced on each side.

In this shot, is the main girl just entering the classroom. The director has called attention to her as the main girl because she causes a scene as see enters. The director has made her the focal point by using the 'Rule of Thirds' placing her in the centre as a close up. Not only that, but they have designed the door to highlight her face using a white window against her dark brown hair which makes her stand out.

In this quick shot, the extras in this part exaggerate how much they stare at her. There are three students turned to face her all in a very similar position in a diagonal line so that all of them can be seen. However, this shot magnifies the first boy because of the formations and because he is closer to the camera. Again, the 'Rule of Thirds' has been used, but instead, the main character is at the bottom left.

In this picture, the girl sits down in her chair and stares at the main boy character. Repeatedly, the director has used the technique 'Rule of Thirds' highlighting the girl and the boy on opposite sides. They are closer to the camera and are in the foreground which give the audience a clear view of who this scene is about. Again, the set and background have been used to illuminate them, as the classroom is a dark brown colour and they are in bright white shirts.
