TV Drama Project:

• Scene= Supernatural, Deans death by Hellhounds.

Dean is dressed in his usual outfits; a t-shirt underneath a shirt, his famous jacket on top, blue jeans, thick boots and his special amulet around his neck. Other characters in this scene are Sam and Ruby's vessel/

Sam is wearing a dark green jacket over his plain shirt and plain baggy blue jeans over his long legs and on top of his boots.

The setting in this scene is inside a living room with pale yellow walls and white or brown furniture. The lighting is natural sunlight which is shining through the window. Sam is positioned mainly at the wall beside the swinging doors and Dean is primarily pinned on the table by Lilith. Ruby (who is really Lilith) is positioned in between Sam and Dean, she wears a black leather jacket over a grey or blue t-shirt. She also wears an amulet around her neck and dark jeans with boots with a decent heel.

Some shots used in this scene are over the shoulder, POV, close up, mid shot, cut-in two-shot and extreme close up. Most shots are fitted together smoothly with the audio of the characters speaking overlapping over the two transitioning shots which is good for noting the other characters reaction.

There is a lot of sound effects in this scene such as the Hellhound barks and snarls. Lilith's powers are also heard among the background ambiance and tension music.

The audience is made to feel the importance of Dean's death because of the way the shot moves onto Sam's crying face, it shows how much it hurts Sam and reveals the audience the emotions set in the scene.

Another example is when Liliths powers do not work on Sam, the way the camera zooms into her face to show her confusion, show and awe makes the audience understand how important this scene is because not only does it reveal how unique Sam is, but shows the audience how scared Lilith has now become of Sam because of how she is vulnerable around him, and is a big pointer for the rest of the series.

One last important part is the extreme zoom from Deans face that zooms into his pupil and it shows you Dean hanging in hell, suspended by hooks that have pierced his shoulder, side and other places (which is a big factor to know if you follow the series). This is a good climatic ending as the audience has been waiting for this to happen to Dean, so it's majorly important to get the shots and atmosphere right...which they did!
