Mise en scene
Marks house is quite messy and appears to be in the middle of refurbishment making it quite realistic. The t.v is small showing the audience that he is not extremely well off. Lots of facial expressions are used in this scene, especially by Juliet who conveys just by looking at her that she has come to realise Marks affection towards her. Mark on the other hand shows expressions of shame and cringes as Juliet watches the video, sure that she'll find out. The video also shows the opposite of Mark's own life style, Peter being rich has a big orchestra wedding and Juliet is in a huge long wedding dress showing wealth.
Camera
-Very few different shots
- long shot of Juliet on sofa and Mark standing up
- Close up over Juliet's shoulder focused on t.v
-Low angle close up of Juliet's face as she reacts to wedding video
Editing & Music
-Seamless editing
-Powerful instrumental music builds as Juliet comes to realise Marks feelings towards her
-Awkward silences to make audience cringe and feel sympathy for Mark
