How are relationships represented in this clip
In the clip from the show 'Cutting it' the uses several different ways to show the ways in which relationships are represented throughout. For example, you could start off by analysing how close they are with one each other. From the extract this is represented through the use of props such as ring which signifies that the couple are married and the zoom up on the ring links in with the back story of how they got there. Furthermore, this can also be shown through him kissing her hand and giving each other doting looks and the way they are the majority of the time holding hands. In addition, it can be said that their relationship is also complex and this is represented through showing an uncertain present and future. Perhaps, when they are both playing with their rings that they are maybe thinking whether or not they have made the correct choice to get married or is it going to affect their relationship even more. It can displayed through their dialogue that they have each cheated on one another and that this is their second time being married to one another. It can also be shown that even though after everything she wants the best for him and if anything ever happened to her then she would want him to move on and find someone else maybe this is giving us as the audience a clue to what might happen to her and can be seen as dramatic irony. When analysing the clip it can be seen that both characters are very secretive and this is shown clearly through the inter cutting between the two characters when she is in the room with the consultant and he is outside whilst waiting for her also another indication of this would be how in the consultant room the dialogue is silenced out and is replaced by ambient which begins off sounding quite depressing then becomes much more cheerful as she exists the hospital maybe the producer wanted to create suspense. Furthermore, throughout the clip the are several examples of diegetic and non-diegetic sounds to allow it seem that the show is made from a low budget but also the sounds are varied depending on the scene and whether some may need to be emphasised to be able to noticed and due to significance it has within the scene. Examples of non-diegetic sounds used would be the heartbeat, music score and examples of diegetic sounds would be car engine and taxi door being shut. Especially, towards the end of the clip she says in a happy voice you never guess what this is a contrast to the music used in the consultant room it could be questioned is she telling her husband the truth or is she lying? All of this is left to the audience to make their own assumptions and to come to their own conclusions. In addition when she eventually gets hit by the bus people can seem the see the scene as over the top and exaggerated. Also, her husbands urgency to run to her when she is dying shows his love for her and it being on slow motion shows how is world is being turned upside down which is conveyed through his facial expressions and linking it to mise-en-scene and positioning of the characters in the frame where she is lying on the floor surrounded by lilies which usually signifies death and tragedy and the birds eye view of him and her lying on the floor links with his world crashing down on him and inevitably the audience could question what was she about to tell him and will we ever know or will it be kept as a mystery and a secret. In conclusion, to sum up the are several representations which show off their relationship and the several factors which construct and clear and understanding of how their relationship is complex, secretive and close to show its significance to the audience.
