Elevator Music - Serdar ferit (2008)


Shared Codes and Conventions

Mise-en-scene - costume begins to construct representations of age and ethnicity -- location --
elevator -- common area where all members of society meet (similar to 'First Time It Hits') --
representations are constructed based on common stereotypes in modern society -- stereotypes
are reinforced by diegtic music -- each stereotype is represented by the music they play.
Camera -- variety of mid-shots and close-ups -- CU's allow audience engagement -- narrative is
told through the camera and mise-en-scene -- no dialogue (similar to 'Michael Lau').
Editing -- majority straight cuts -- maintains sense of realism in the text - fade transition used
to show change of time.
