Merlin

Editing:
The special effects in the clip happen when he moves the objects with his eyes, this shows that he has power even though he is of a lower class.
At the start of there clip he is in a place that he's not meant to be, and we then see him getting into a fight, this shows that he is of a lower class as he is getting into fights.
The clip is at a fast pace, especially in the fight scene, the change of pace during the fight scene shows that Merlin is getting a bit scared f the upper class man during the fight.
Merlin has the most screen time throughout the clip, even though he is of a lower class he is shown to have a lot of power because of  his special powers that he has.

Mise en scene:
The lower class people in the clip wear dirty, thin clothes and the upper class people wear clean, metal clothes which they are protected in. This shows the difference between there classes.
One prop that was used in the clip was the broomstick, the 'Lord' uses this to sweep dirt onto Merlin, this would usually be used by Merlin as he's of lower class so it shows that the upper class boy is mocking Merlin. Another prop used is the weapon, only the upper class boy knows how to use this and the lower class boy doesn't know how to, this again shows the difference between the classes.
The setting is in a castle which shows the expensive belongings of the upper class people, we then see the small, dirty village which is where we see the lower class people working and living.

Sound:
Merlin refers to the upper class boy as 'Lord', this shows the difference between the two boys as the upper class boy doesn't even refer to Merlin by his first name and then the upper class boy is shocked when Merlin speaks to him in a rude way.
We hear animal noises and sounds of people working in the village, which shows that they are of a lower class, the animal noises are diegetic sound which links with the pan of the village showing the people working in poor conditions.
We hear the woman's footsteps in the castle which shows her level of authority as they make her seem powerful.
The music at the start of the clip tells the audience that the boy isn't meant to be where he is, we know this as it gets louder as the woman gets closer to the room where he is.

Camera:
There's an establishing shot to show us the setting, this tells the audience the class of there people.
There is a close up of the jewel book and it tells us that Merlin doesn't know what it is because he is of a low class.
There is a high angle of Merlin coming down the stairs and this shows his innocence and it also makes him look small.
There is a point of view shot from Merlin's father, this shows his concern for his son getting involved in a fight with an upper class boy.

  1. Sound - where is the dialogue? Really important to refer to what they say and how they say it?
