9 Shot Analysis #1

 Shot 1:
This shows the name of the location where the action takes place and also emphasises 'for young ladies'  which the viewers will soon discover is not true. The sound is a backing track of the 'St Trinians Theme Song'. The camera is still then pans around to show a skull on a stick which already contradicts the 'young lady' aspect of the school. This lasts for 4.5 seconds.

 Shot 2: 
This shot is a view from the back seat of a very fancy, posh Rolls Royce which is driving along a road. We see mans back and a reflection of his sunglasses in the rearview mirror. He looks across at someone in the seat next to him who we cannot see yet. The music continues to be the same. This shot lasts for 1 second so the film seems to pick up pace here compared to shot 1.

Shot 3:
We now find out that the passenger is a young girl. Presumably his daughter from the same backseat viewpoint as before. She also looks back at her father which creates an enigma as the audience are not quite sure who these people are. The music continues as before and this shot lasts for 2 seconds.

Shot 4:
This shot shows the car carrying the girl and man and shows a viewpoint of possibly a watcher or just an overview of the surrounding countryside location. The music continues as before.The shot lasts for 5 seconds and pans along with the car whilst it is moving.

Shot 5:
This again show the location and the countryside in which the fancy car is driving through. It pans along with the movement of the car to show it travelling through some big metal gates. The music continues and this shot lasts  7 seconds which is quite long. 

Shot 6:
This shot seems to be on the ground showing the back of the car. It gives the idea that the people in the car are arrogant and upper class due to the height of the camera and the exhaust fumes blowing right in the camera. The music again continues whilst the camera pans along to show a very old, grand building whilst moving towards it.

Shot 7:
This shot shows that the passengers are getting out of the car because they have arrived at the destination and they are getting their luggage out which indicates that they are intending on staying. The emphasis on the closing of the boot shows this. This shot lasts for 1 second. The sound continues as before as well as a prominent sound of the boot closing.

 Shot 8:
This shot is quite a long shot which lasts 11 seconds, you see that they 2 main characters have both got out the car and carrying luggage. You see the girl in school uniform which shows that she is going to a school. There is some dialogue in this clip as well as a desk falling from the sky (a window) and the flutter in sounds of paper falling from the desk. The backing music remains as before.

 Shot 9:
We now see the characters opening a door and entering into a room with a very suspicious box saying 'Deposit all contraband items here' which causes the characters to look scared worried. The camera pans around the room along with them walking and the girl complains that it is 'low rent'. The background music continues as before.
