Monarch of the Glen

Long Take
This Extract of Monarch of the Glen opens up with a Long take this refers to the length of time the camera is running between edits. It means that we don't see the edit from a long period of time. It creates an impression of a busy place. In this first 15 seconds the long take is off a farm surroundings and we can see that the busy place shows older men working on a farm so this could represent the stereotype of boring and slow. which would represent back to the men all being older and their age is boring and slow.



Crosscutting with a Shot/Reverse shot with an eyeline match
Cross cutting a cut to a section of action that is going on at the same time. Reverse Shot is an editing pattern that cuts to a view of the opposite direction like in a conversation, at Eyeline Match which is where we can see a charecter look in a particular direction which the next shot follows. There is a cross cutting shot with a reverse shot, this link on from the last sequence showing a man and a teenage girl walking out the house, the reverse shot is behind the man is is showing him looking at eyeline match to the girl this shows their equality which relates to the last stereotype with a calm feel and relaxed.
