Narrative- Story construction.


Eastenders
Graphics- title sequence, graphics of the map of London. Shows where it is set.
Sound- introductory soundtrack, typical song- goes with the idea of east end. Set in hospital- sounds of hospital. Diagetic sound- speech + atmospheric sounds in background- humming of music in the pub. No non- diagetic sound.
Lighting- simplistic natural lighting, apart from in the hospital, but is quite natural for the setting. Darker lighting in most of the scenes- quite realistic.
Costume- quite common looking, lower class, not posh looking, casual costume.
Camera- simple switches of two shots, over the shoulder two shots, editing is simplistic. Just jump cuts, minimal switches between the shots.

Merlin.
Graphics- use of graphics, eye changes colour in the opening credit. Special effects used in order to create a magical feeling to it. Graphics used to show the opening credits, overlays of images, maps and fx. Font use is glistening, in a gold in order to represent the idea of magic.
Sound- Voice over. The use of a score to enhance the action + the use of a voice over to make the sound in someone’s mind- communicating through their minds.
Mise en scene- grand castle/forts. Set in a medieval place to signify the kind of drama. Grand props, candles & copper bowls of fruit, all adds to the scenery.
Lighting- quite natural day light. Dark in places but very bright in others, it signifies the period of time.
Costume- poor looking, not typical clothing, it has an olden age look to it and also could relate to medieval times. People in knights costumes & dressed in capes.
Camera- slow motion edits, quick edits, also quite shaky cameras & two shots, tracking shots, long shots & close ups. Large range of camera shots.
