Camera

The Camera work of Freak is very significant, has this helps to distinguish the charcters and to show the power, dominancy and equality within the Teen Online Drama

In the beginning of Freak we are shown The main character taking a picture of herself, the shot is taken from outside the house, we are not shown exactly what she is doing, all we see is the camera which symbolises a possible concern with a self image. We are then shown her brother enter the room, from a still shot. This shows a possible dramatic scene has he storms in the room from a calm atmosphere.

There is a lot of versimilitude in the Episode. During the middle of the episode we are shown Lucy entering the room with a low angle shot, as she is entering a room full of guys, and she is a girl this suggests a possible threat to the group and her feminity is a threat to the group.


Freak also displays some quite long duration shots which reflect the mood of the scene, We see the fiesty character Heather trying to flirt with someones boyfriend, the camera pans from character to character but we the tracking stays the same. This is showing a tension within the scene has this rivalry between the two characters and this is displayed through the stiffness of the camera.

At the end of the Drama there is more use of panning, we see Lucy walk out of the house, and almost run straight in front of the car, the camera doesnt change postion and this shows the pacy and the emotions that are running through the progamme, therefore creating versimilitude.

Freak, Editing

The editing throughout the Teen Drama is highly significant, as improves the flow of the drama and the way the scenes are connected, at the start of the drama the introduction of different sounds helps to hail the audience for example at the start we hear a trumpet being played, this unusual sound is cleverly slotted in at the beginning by the editor in order to hail the audience.

Another clever technique used by the Editor is the sound, the sound is played all through the first scene before title is even shown, so the audience doesn't know anything about the film, do is forced to watch more of the Drama to find out, a simple technique but is very effective

During the middle of the Drama, pictures of a party are shown with music, we are then shown the party afterwords, this effective for the audience as they been given a teaser of what is to come, then when they are shown what has actually happened it reveals certain secrets also the music can help to reflects the tone of the scene.
