In todays lesson we were looking at the representation of sexuality in 'fingersmith' we discucssed the ways in which the extract from fingersmith representations of sexuality , using the following:

• camera anglesa and movements
• mise -en -scene
• sound
• editing

we then looked at these 4 factors and wrote down the dennotation and the connotation in each.
for example within the mise-en-secne the woman wore gowns,gloves ,big hats, blowses represents a sense of sophisticaton and how they are traditionally dressed for the age in which the film is set in.

For an exstension task we then had to create our own essay on the representation of sexuality in fingersmith. i learnt allot about representation of sexuality in this.

Today i have completed my story board with total of 11 shots. it took  me a while to finish as i wasnt sure how i wanted to portray my shots.  And to get the plot accross. My plot is two men and a mysterious briefcase with low key lighting i plan to start filming this week.
