The Imbetweeners - Wills Dilema (First 8 minutes)

Shots	What is the shot showing?	Connotations ( your response)	Denotations what the shot suggests
Establishing shot	Jays caravan	You wonder why a caravan is just parked in on the street.	This shows that it’s not a very nice place to be as the caravan looks run down and dirty and this makes us think that it is not belonging to anyone wealthy.
Close up	Of Neil’s face showing how engaged he is in Jays lies	You wonder how Neil can be so stupid the shot is face on so this is focusing on his emotion in his face. You also feel sorry for Neil being so gullible.	That Neil is so intrigued by Jays lies. The close up shows his face and how gullible Neil is.
Mid shot	Of all the boys sat around the table	This is just giving you the response that it is a friendly atmosphere	That they are all good friends who are combatable in each other’s company and that no one is of more importance of the others as they are all sat around the table at equal heights.
High angle eye shot	From Jays dad’s eye view	The boys have just been talking about how great they are and then this shot puts them to shame	Showing that Jay’s dad is of more importance because of his age and experiences to life.
Zoomed mid shot and establishing shot	Of the school sign while the students attend the school	That they have now cut scenes to where they are now at school and it looks like a high quality working school.	That it is a busy school and that they just mingle in with everyone else and they want to stand out but they cannot
Cutting between two close up shots	Between Simon and Tara while Simon gets into panic when she starts asking him questions	That Simon is in panic and does not know what to say so you feel sorry for him and you don’t want him to embarrass himself	That the conversation is faster than it actually is and creates suspension and panic for the audience.
Mid shot	Between Will and his mum showing their mother and son relationship	That you see that will is embarrist by his mum hugging him in front of his friends and you feel sorry for him.	That they have a strong relationship because she is reassuring him not to do drugs
Over the shoulder shot	Of Will looking at the other boys	That will thinks he is better than the other three boys and that he is being brought down by ‘hanging out’ with them.	Showing wills point of view, on how retarded his friends are.
