Case study 3: Scream Queens (Extra)


I am analysing another TV drama for my research and this drama is called Scream Queens. The genre to this is Comedy horror, Thriller and I also think it has a lot of action in it. I am going to use the CEMS analysis to analyse this TV drama, like I did with ‘Thirteen.
 At the beginning of the Trailer there is a long shot of a girl shouting something out which is called diegetic sound and the shot is called the long shot. It is a long shot of a girl, slowly the camera zooms into her which makes the shot a mid-shot of the girl. There is a middle shot of a girl walking looking scared with blood on her hands. Also a diegetic sound appears saying "Something bad has happened". This makes the audience think about how she got the blood on her hands, and was the bad thing that happened. The camera suddenly goes above the girl which know makes it an Aries/ long shot if her. Using non diegetic sound, writing appears saying "a mystery was born". This makes the viewed think about what the mystery is and how the mystery began

       There is a long shot of a girl in a bath tub with another girl sitting outside of the bath tub.  The camera slowly zooms in and has a close up of the girl in the bath tub who is staring in one place without blinking. This makes the audience want to know why she is just sitting there. A voiceover of a girl appears which is diegetic sound which says "she is dead". This makes the audience scared and want to know what happened to the girl in the tub and how she died. As the camera has a close up of the girl's face you could hear diegetic sound of people screaming and suddenly you see a few girls ruining and screaming, this scene makes the audience want to know what happened, and why the ladies/ girls are running away. Writing shows up with a loud bang noise which is non diegetic. The writing says "Now the revenge begins". The audience don't know what revenge which makes them more interested into the trailer.
        
      There is a long shot of a car with two people in there talking to each other, the way there speak tells the viewers that they are really scared.  There is a mid-shot of three girls walking from the back, the camera goes to the front. The way the girls are dressed up shows the audience that they are posh and rich. The girl in blue clothes has an interview with an old lady. There is a close up of the girl’s face smiling. The camera goes to where the three girls are walking down the stairs, and then back to the interview of where there's a close up of her taking her glasses off. Behind the diegetic sound you could hear non diegetic sound of the backing track all the way through the trailer. The camera goes and makes a mid-shot of the girls walking behind the main girl who is talking. There is a close up of a few other girls who look like they have been waiting for her. The next scene is back at a party where there is a close up of drinks in a glass. There is a long shot a lady ad a girl who are waiting for every one’s attention. Then there is a close up of a grow women talking. While the lady is talking there is mid shot of a group of girls standing in a line and then walk off the camera goes behind them. In this scene the audience may be thinking why are the girls standing in a line and walking.
         
         There is a close up of the girls no then a close up of the main girl who starts to speak. When she looks to the side it tells the audience that something is happening or something has happened which makes the audience suspicious about it. Writings appears which says "F the wicked minds of glee American horror story". So now the audience know that it is an American horror story, even though it doesn't look like a horror yet. There is a close up of a girl who is being introduced to another girl named "Jennifer's" by another lady. The camera then concentrates on Jennifer who is there sitting and eating awkwardly. There is a long shot the posh girl opening the door and walking towards the camera. The camera then has a mid-shot of the girl with a few other posh girls with her. In this Ariana Grande is also standing by the posh girl's side. This makes the audience want to watch it because Ariana Grande is someone famous and many people like her, she also is a role model to some people.
      
            There is a close up of the girls walking in the corridor where there is a close up of a man’s hand who is cleaning the floor with a toothbrush. There is a mid-shot of the girls talking and then a long shot of other girls standing in a line. The camera shot goes back to the girls but now they are sitting on the chair and drinking. There is a close up of the girls arguing which shows they might not get along well, whereas the scene where the girls sat down and were drinking shows the audience that they get along well. There is another mid shot of Ariana Grande with two other girls. This would make the audience want to watch it because Ariana Grande is acting in the drama too. There is a close up of a girl and a boy talking, and their face expression show that something is wrong or something will happen because they both seem scared. This would urge the audience to watch it because they would want to know/ see what will happen and why both people seem worried.
         
           There is a close up of a girls face buried in the garden and in the background there is an image of another girl who's head is also buried, but her head is blurry so you cannot see her properly. This affect is used because the camera wants to pay more attention to the first girl. There is a close up of a hand turning a key, and a girl who is buried screaming. Suddenly the light shines upon her which gives the viewers a little hint of what that vehicle might be. The close up of a girl goes closer and closer as the girl screams and then the colour of her face changes and the camera freezes for about with non-diegetic and diegetic sound of the girl. Then the camera goes to a lady with non-diegetic sound behind her talking about the same incidents. There is an over shoulder shot of a girl looking at her reflection through a mirror as she sees a red person and then screams. Then there is a close up of the main characters with the names on. The editor shows the main characters because people would want to know who the main characters in the drama are. There is a close up of a police women turning her head around, and screams as she sees a close up of a knife in another police women’s neck. This is where the trailer gets interesting and makes the audience have the interest to watch it.
       
         The scenes have a quick pace as they move from one scene to the other to make the trailer seem more tense and interesting. There is a close up of a red man who is dressed as a devil and a close up of a girl on the floor covered in blood screaming and scared. At this point of the trailer the trailer gets a bit tense and more interesting. There is a long shot of the group of girls facing a wall looking at the writing which says "Kappa will die", the writing seems like it was written in blood. There is a close up of a girl in a bath tub covered in blood and then a long shot of the group of girls staring at the camera looking scared. There is a long shot of the girls having dinner together, and then the camera goes straight to a bunch of candles were a girl lays dead in the middle of the candles. The long shot shows us the girls walking looking serious and then the editing gets even faster and slows down a bit where the red devil grabs the main girls mouth. A t the end the title of the drama is written, and seems like it is also written in blood as the blood comes dripping down. Then there are three icons to Facebook, YouTube and twitter. This wants the audience to share and subscribe the trailer.
