Revolutionary Road

Camera: In this scene they mainly use duel shots to show that there is a relationship between and later you find out that they are married. They also use wide shots to give the impetration that they are in a world of their own and the outside world won't affect what is going on in their life at that time. There is also a lot of over the shoulder shots to make the audience more involved in the scene but it makes them feel awkward because them they are watching an argument. They also show a long shot of she walking away this could show the distance between them at this time or that she is trying to escape the argument for a little while.

Lighting:
In the building at the start it is high key lighting but then for the rest of the scene it is low key lighting to show the audience that it is night time and also to show that they are in a dark place at the moment because they are going through at rough patch in their marriage. I found it difficult to watch because there wasn't much lighting I couldn't see what was going on.




Editing:
In this scene they use shot reverse shot to show the conflict between the two characters. They also use fast editing to build tension created by the main characters.


Mise en scene:
Everything in this scene tells the audience something about the story. The costumes tell them about the time that it is set because the woman is wearing a beige pencil skirt and a white blouse, He is wearing a brown suit with a red tie which shows that they are in the 1950's or a time near it. Also the car they are using has the huge steering wheel which is mainly in old fashioned car. The actors facial expressions show that they are in a fight and angry because the man is frowning and he is also pacing which is the tell tale scenes that he is angry with his wife. She walks away from the car really quickly which shows the audience that she is trying to escape the fight with her husband. Then he punches the car which is the biggest show of his anger. This made me feel awkward to start off with because I felt like I was ease dropping on their argument, but  then I felt angry when he goes to hit his wife but then hits the car a sign of relief rushed over me.

Sound:
The sound in this scene was mainly diegetic because the audience needed to focus on what was going on in the scene and not hide it behind the backing track.
