Greys Anatomy season 5 finale

3. framing
In 1:58 the framing is horizontal
and in the foreground there is the
floor, mid ground the two
characters: alex and Christina are
talking but in the background
there're hospital supplies and a
nurse. Another example is in 0:39
in the mid ground there is the
character owen and in the back
ground a medical machine. These
two examples are creating the
hospital environment.

4. Composition
In 1:15 the subject is the two
hands, it takes up most of the
shot in a diagonal. In 2:05 the
two subjects are Christina and
Alex and they are balanced in
the shot as they are both
equally in the shot. There is a
use of rule of thirds, this all
gives the audience a view of
the reactions and the
important moment.

5. costume codes
The costume codes used scrubs, lab coats,
gowns. this is conveying the characters
position and identity in story. scrubs and lab
coats are connoting they are doctors, but the
gowns mean they are patients. Alex is wearing
his own clothes which indicates he is not
personnel in the hospital or something has
happened to make him dress normally. Also he
is wearing dark colours which typically
signifies that he isn't a very happy person.

6. lighting
The lighting is very neutral and white which
connotes that its a sterile very clean
environment

7. camera angles
There is not much
to say about angles
in this scene, there
are mostly level
shots to the head
and at the end of
the scene there is a
birds eye view shot
Screen shot 5:16
screen shot 5:18

8. soundtrack
The emotional music that matches the mood
of sadness and intensity starts at 2:25 minuets
into the scene, this music matches the scene
and the mood that is conveyed. And in the
background of the heart monitor which add's
the surprise when Issy suddenly dies.

9. editing
There is a cut between
two different stories,
Issy and Alex, John doe
and Grey. At the end
when Issy is supposings
dieing there is a blur
effect which is put on to
convey the message that
she is not in the real
world, she is in a world
of her own.
Screen shot 4:38
