How The Characters Are Represented In This Scene

A clip from Eastenders of Ian, Phil and Lucy

Phil - We immediately realise that Phil is the more dominant character as he burst through the door into Ian's house without being invited. He has an angry expression on his face and his body language is powerful and aggressive. Phil's voice is loud and he shouts at Ian. He exaggerates words such as 'buzzing'. His costume is black which signifies an enemy or the baddy. 

Ian - Ian's character seems wimpy and scared compared to Phil's. He also repeats words which imply this. He talks fast which suggests that he is anxious but also that he is worried about what phil will reply. Although he tries to shout there is a quiver in his voice. His body language comes across as weak and he also puts his hands up in front of him which suggests he is defending himself. Ian's face expressions show he is scared and nervous. His costume is plain and casual which implies that he is the victim.

Lucy - Her character is confident and she speaks her mind. Although she raises her voice she seems calm and as if Phil does not intimidate her. She is also cocky which is shown when she say, 'run home to your mummy.' At the end she looks at Ian and says what as if speaking her mind to a man twice the size is normal. Her body language  also suggests that she is confident as she has her arms crossed. 

Narrative - Phil is cross as Ian has been working with Archie against Phil and then he sold his own brother ben 'down the river'. However, Phil just thinks that Ian is trying to get back at him.

Camera Angles

When the camera shows Phil a low angle is used so that we look up at him. This makes him come across as dominant. 

They also use Over the shoulder shots to show Ian which could also be classed as reaction shots as they show his reactions and expressions to what Phil Is saying.

For Lucy they use shots that are at eye level. They do this because she is not a dominant or vulnerable character and is also younger than the other two characters.

At the end of the when Phil leaves the camera then lowers to show a two person shot of Lucy and Ian. 

Editing - There is not a lot of editing in this scene as it is a conversation between the characters. However, it does cut between person in order to show their response.

Sound - Diegetic sound is used at the beginning of the scene when Phil is shout at Ian from out side is house but we cannot see him. The banging of the door as Phil crashes through it is also diegetic sound.
