The Family Burnham

What do we learn about the family ?

• Repetitive
• The father and daughter use to be close
• The family photos show they use to be happy ( this also shows a traditional family)

Mise en Scene.
When the camera is facing the dinner table the father (Lester) is more slouched that the mother or daughter , also we see the red roses standing out and they are placed infront of the daughter , who also has red on her jumper, when they are sat at the table , the mother and father being far away form eachother suggests they are only really there for their daughter.

Music.
At the dinner table they are listening to 'Bali Hai' , we know this is the mothers choice of song and this shows she is old fashioned and either music she has grown up with or even what her parents would of listened to.
When Lester and his daughter talk in the kitchen the music is sad and slow but then when we see the boy filming them the music gets creepy which is also shown in the boys face aswell as anger.

Camera Work.
It starts off with a long shot of the family at the table , the camera gets very slowly closer, it makes the audiance feel like they could be spying or ease dropping on them.
