  From a cinematographic standpoint, "Mean Girls" uses a variety of camera angles to portray the characters' complex emotions as well as the ridiculousness of high school life. The movie often establishes power dynamics in the school by using low angles and spotlights. For example, the camera follows Regina George, the leader of the Plastics, as she moves down the corridor, highlighting her power and authority from a low viewpoint. On the other hand, the camera may take a high angle during sensitive scenes, which will make the characters appear smaller in the frame.

The quality in this video was not the best and to prevent this happening again later on I will use another device that will produce higher resolution videos. Also instead of leaving my videos to a later time I will start on them earlier ; this will allow me choose the best device to work on as well as allowing me to prepare props and clothing. Being organised and punctual  will be my main goal as that will be the solution to a well produced video. 6) I have learned that although any parts of Mise - en - scene seem insigni...
