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.

Some good use of terminology but the work lacks strcuture. You need to get the notes from the lesson where we looked at past papers if you weren't here as this should help. Tne intro should explain what characters you will discussing and the representations that they embody. The final paragraph should evalaute the representatiosn saying if they are positive negative etc.
