I have watched an extract from misfits episode 1 season 1 and this is about the camera angles and shot and the use of sound and why they have used it at that particular moment.
use of camera angles and shots
at first you have a mid shot that slowly works up Alisha's body showing he slowly toe to head, moving up her body slowly and showing every bit of her shows that she must be important and also gives her a sexual look as the angle is moving up. then you seen Nathan this is just a mid shot seeing his facial expression and the mysterious look he has giving the look of that he isn't happy where he is. then you have a extreme close up on kelly showing her doing her hair looking depressed and a blank sort of look showing she isn't interested because you can just see her face you don't really know where she is or whats she is looking at. then the shot for Simon its close up, his face looking like everyone else expression while hes trying to be neat by sorting out what he is wearing. there is a fast shot of someones face putting on a cap slightly looking down on him showing that he properly isn't significant in the the TV show. then there is a mid shot of curtis giving him a sexual look as they look at his stomach which as a six pack and then leads his face pointing from underneath showing that this character must be significant in some way. they all are in a one shot this introduces all the characters one by one. then it flicks throw them all, every single one either a mid shot or a close showing that these people are important in the TV show. Alisha showing her cleavage giving her more of a sexual look this is how a girl is portrayed to look to be permisscious.
then it goes into a wide angle shot showing all of them standing in their orange jump suits, all stood against bars looks bored and not interested this shows that these teens are working class, not really rich, done something that is breaking the law. the angle is pointing up at all of them showing that they are important characters.
again there is a close up on all the characters just so the audiences sees all their faces once more and shows that none of the are interested in what the man in charge has to say. then when it turns to that man its a close up like the rest of them you see his facial expression and how hes really trying to take control and help them. but when Nathan says something the close up goes to him so he can talk and be the centre of attention but while he is saying things a look a disgust comes from kelly and so you get a quick close up of her face to really show the disgust, and then to the character on the left of him who is also in a close up to look at his facial expression of how un impressed he is. after there is a mid shot of all 3, which tells us that those 3 characters are the main ones speaking at that time, you can see the outline of man in charge in the for ground but he is blurred. this says that he is still important as he is closer to the camera but not as important at that time as the characters it is focused on. the close ups continue for a while as whoever talks they show them first and then the reaction of others to what has been said.
use of sound
there is a use of music at the start that builds up the tensions with the eat getting faster as it flick throw the different people the music. it gets louder and louder like they are getting ready for something to happen, sort of motivating music. then it gets so far and the music changes to make it more interesting but it is still going, getting ready music this is direct sound as yo cant hear anything from the back ground just the music playing
. then it just stops and there is a few seconds of silence for when they are all in the frame, this gives you a few seconds to just look at notice everything about these people including the setting and their outfits. after there is diagetic sound which is what yo would expect in a TV show, this gives the characters a voice which normally matches with the way they are dressed. they all have a London accent which you would normally accossiate with counsel housing and f the lower class especially Kelly who has what we would cal a 'chav' accent. there is also a studio sound this is a ring tone from a phone normally they aren't that loud or dominate in a situation like this but they have put tat over the sound. at the end music starts playing again (same music from the start) and this leads into the introduction that has been animated so this all shows that this sound is present threw out the TV show because it is the theme tune for it. it makes it more recognisable.
