https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUeHgK1LrEM This clip starts off with a straight cut which follows the sequence of the scene because they start moving towards the door then the straight cut is made showing them walk through the door entering the door. As the 2 men walk in the room towards the third man, the camera slowly pans upwards. This is a very slow and intricate movement that blends in and is hard to notice. There is then another straight cut  as the men start conversation. As the conversation begins, there is a shot reverse shot  between the characters in conversation with each other as well as an over the shoulder shot.  This little scene was very fast paced as the cuts were very  sharp and quick. Then there is more straight cuts as the 2 men walk towards another door and into a new room a man dressed in all red starts conversation. As the two men engage in conversation there is the 180 degree rule and does not break it. This has the effect that the two...

'clueless' film review

This film was about a teenage girl trying to become a better person and finding a boyfriend. The audience for this film would be targeted towards 12+ or teenagers. I liked the humour of this film and the structure of how the plot panned out. I would say the film is more targeted towards teenage girls than boys but there are also some links boys can have to it. For example the different boy groups in the high school and how they are segregated depending on how they are. I did not like the the relationship between between the protagonist and the character 'Josh'. This is because they were once step siblings and later on developed romantic feelings towards each other which I found surprising and was not good for the narrative. Overall i would recommend this film towards teenagers and I enjoyed majority of this film.
