1
Long shot
Straight
Zoom in to medium close up (MCU) and then back out to Long shot (LS)
In this shot there is no dialogue so instead we will play music such as garage or R’n’B as an insight into the girls characters.
The ‘Rude girls’ are standing in a group with their arms folded with Vixen in the middle. When the camera has zoomed in a text appears at the bottom swoops in saying ‘The Rude Girls’ with their names printed underneath.
The effect this will give is that the audience will begin to know quite a lot about the group for example, that Vixen is the leader because she is standing in the middle of the girls and also, the music choice behind the girls will show a lot about the character and the music they listen to.
2
Extreme long shot
Straight
There will be no camera movement.
Voice over/narrator: ‘’Vixen, Vassy and Violin are taking time out of their classes today..’’
In this shot it mainly is showing the overview of the playground to which in the distance ‘The Rude Girls’ can be seen bunking out of lessons.
The effect that is created whilst the school playground is being shown it gives the audience an insight into the girls lives and therefore, makes them feel as if they are there and/or that they actually know the girls.
3
Medium long shot
High angle shot.
Straight cut from the last scene to the current one/ Fade in.
Production member/director: So girls what are you doing here?
The girls are sitting at a picnic bench in their playground. Vixen is lounging about on the top of the table while Violin is sitting with her feet up on the chair reading a magazine to which she has a book hidden underneath. And, Vassy is sitting on the other side playing around on her phone.
This shot gives the audience the effect of getting to know the girls better and how they are feeling because we see their body language.
4
Medium close up
High angle shot.
N/A
Vassy: We thought school was too boring innit So we bunked..
Vassy looks up from her phone and talks while playing with the Vaseline she just took out of her pocket. She applies the Vaseline when she finishes talking.
This low angle shot shows the audience that Vassy is one of the in-superior and has hardly any authority within the gang unlike Vixen who is the leader.
5
Medium Shot.
Low angle shot.
N/A
Vixen:  Wait, what you do you fink yor’ doin’ innit?!
Vixen tenses up and sits up/kneels on the table, staring down at Vassy.
The shot shows the audience whose boss. Unlike the previous shot were the camera looks down on Vassy, this shot looks up at Vixen so she is looking down. This therefore, shows her as the superior character.
6
Medium close-up.
High angle shot.
N/A
Vassy: Puttin’ on ma’ Vaseline…
Vassy continues putting on more Vaseline.
This shot makes the audience feel more like there are watching a mockumentary. For example, documentaries and mockumentaries alike are both filming what happens at that precise moment, because of this the shots may not always be professional because something may happen when they are not expecting it so they would have to merely catch on camera whatever they can.

Medium shot.
Low angle shot.
N/A
Vixen: You answered the question!!
In this shot you can see that Vixen is getting agitated and very angry because Vassy answered the question before her which she doesn’t agree with because she believes she is the leader of the group and therefore, must speak first.
This shot shows that Vixen believes that she is superior to the other girls and even goes to the extent of getting physically angry at the other girls because the spoke before her.
8
Medium shot
High angle shot.
N/A
Violin: No sugar Sherlock.
Violin who was not even involved in the argument between the other girls speaks up in a bid to quiet the girls. While saying this she rolls her eyes.
This shot shows Violin finally getting her point across and speaking back at both of the other girls. Even though she isn’t involved in the so called argument she uses her sarcasm and smartness to try and silence the girls.
9
Two person shot
Straight on.
N/A
Vixen and Vassy at the same time: SHUT UP VIOLIN!
In this shot both girls (Vixen and Vassy) and end their supposed argument to shout at Violin.
This shot shows the division in the group between Vixen and Vassy against Violin.
10
Medium shot.
Straight on.
It follows Violin.
No dialogue but there may be background noise. (E.g: Birds tweeting)
Violin stands up and storms off. The girls stare after her but they don’t chase after her or even yell her name they merely watch her walk away. While she walked away the camera men follow her but she puts her hand over the camera lenses and carries on walking.
In this shot the division in the group is shown more as Violin needs time away from her friends.
