- diegetic knock at the door

- horror genre - hand on fridge - mum is seeing an intruder
- creepy little girl in kitchen - convention of horror
- reaction shot/eyeline match - we can see the mums reaction and how she is focused on camille
- only diegtic sound
- cut to longshot of the kitchen/sitting room - binary opposition camille and mum on opposite sides. Binary oppositions - old and young life and death
- reinforces how middle class they are - tidy and put together house
- soundtrack is pure horror - physcological horror. non diegetic soundtrack slowly getting louder
- contrapuntal sound - does not go with what is being shown - unsettling for audience
- tracking shot of muwalking down hallway - positioned with the mother
- Soundtrack louder and sounds like a heart beat- anchhors our emotions to fit with mum
- natural reaction - physocological horror
- this scene reinforces hegemonic norms - white girl the main character
- camille is a stereotypical teenager
- her character is being established that she is a gobby teenager
Julie stalked by victor
- stereotypical repsentation of women - Julie is a nurse
- subversive costume - conservative not too feminine
- bus stop - longshot - low key lighting frmo street lamp - horror genre
- isolation of scene
- relatable to audience
- mes of rain - reinforcing who julie is without telling us
- victor slowly walking up behind bus stop - he shouldn't be there
- he is abject
- abjection is when something doesnt belong
- soundtrack is repeated - shows how people keep coming back to life
- cuts to simon - appeal to younger female audience - in a pub. relatable for teenage audience
- les revants cuts frequently from narrative to narratie - character archs
- the first episode establishes lots of character archs
- binary opposition - opposite to camille's situation - we see julie getting of the bus
- producers make it very obvious that julie is working class - she walks through rough areas
- low key lighting
- shot of victor out the window - positioned with julie. she is calm and collected and doesn't really react to victor outside
- MES of flat - relatable - arty black and white photos, lots of books
- masculine costume - shirt and a jumper
- close up of hands holding - positions us with julie.- maternal. proairectic code - foreshadows their relationship that might happen - she is going to look after him
this show is very exotic - to a british audience. it is very stereotypical. the french audiences will identify witht the character's look. From a british perspective
Lena and Simon walking home
- targetting a teenage audience
- paranormal romance - Simon is a monster and lena is human
- wokring class alley way - graffiti
- window - barrier between life and death - simon looks through the window at his wife
- screaming and crying - adele is middel aged - we get the reaction we were wanting to see
- appeal to middle aged women - simopn turns down lena and goes for adele
- audience appeal - sexual situations and attractive characters
camille/lena sex scene
- Both of these shows (humans and les revants)end in a montage that sums up the key characters
- "4 years earlier" igh key lighitng comes up we see the same kitchen
- typical family
- deliberatly uncomfortable
- crosss cuting between the sex scene and the bus - to show that these two scenes are happening at the same time
- cut to black - after bus goes off - symbolic of death
- "le petit more" - in france there is a big idea that having sex for the first time is like dying a little bit
- symbolism of sex and eath together - lena having sex causes camille to die
high production values
