The scene five minutes into the programme is of two women Miss Fairfax and Miss Woodhouse talking. Miss fairfax is asking Miss Woodhouse to cover for her and tell the family that she has gone home. Miss Woohouse replies in her favour but she is worried for Miss Fairfax walking to Highbury alone is the heat they are experiencing. The scene ends with Miss Fairfax being rather adamant to walk by alone.
There is a use of pan. This is to show that the two ladies are talking to eachother. It is also to show what two characters they are before they start their conversation.
Miss Fairfax walks towards Miss Woodhouse to enable them to talk to eachother without them have to shout across the large room. As Miss Fairfax walk towards Miss Woodhouse the shot is known as an establishing shot, this is extremely rare to find in the middle of a movie or TV Drama programme. That is why i believe that this shot is infact a master shot. This shot is used to show the audience their surroundings. Who is around them, what is around them. In this particular shot they are completely alone in a large room having a private conversation that is only to be heard by themselves.
The last shot used in this is is the shot revers shot. There may be only three different shots in this scene but the shot revers shot is used for quite some time and is used throughout the whole conversation. Shot revers shot is used during a conversation. The camera is pointing to the person speaking and alternately changes according to the dialogue. This is when the 180° rule is most important. Both of the characters must stay on their side of the lens throughout the whole scene whether half of the back of their head is facing the camera or they are speaking their dialogue and their whole face is facing the camera. Not only was the shot reverse shot used, but a medium close up shot is used at the beginning of the conversation. This shot is used to show the character's body language rather than their facial expressions, this type of shot does not make this part seem intense. As the conversation continues and gets more intense and when Miss Fairfax becomes more determined to walk alone the medium close up shot slowly and gradually zooms in and changes to a close up shot. This is make the audience notice the character's facial expressions rather that their body language. It also makes the audience feel more involved and intense.

The scene six and a half minutes into the programme is of two teenagers Donna and Maria. Donna's father recently passed away. Earlier in the programme she was given a box. The box contained items that had been left for her from her father. The focus in this scene is the envelope and what it contains. Donna is reluctant to open it, but on the other hand Maria convinces her to open it. Inside the envelope are some instructions for her, an address and a surprise for her.
The first shot is known as an establishing shot, this is extremely rare to find in the middle of a movie or TV Drama programme. That is why i believe that this shot is infact a master shot. This shot is used to show the audience their surroundings. Who is around them, what is around them. In this particular shot they are in what looks like a park or maybe it is the outside of their work place. As well as the dialogue it is known that the conversation they are having is not private because there are other people around them. They maybe not be listening in on their conversation but if it was that private they would not take the risk.
There is a use of pan. This is to follows the two girls talking to eachother.
While there is a use of pan the shot that is being used is the 2-shot. This is because there are two people in the shot standing next to eachother, walking along together. This shows that they are friends and that this conversation is not too big a deal. This is because if it was an intense conversation they would be face to face. That happens later but not yet.
The next shot is the shot reverse shot. The shot revers shot is used for quite some time and is used throughout most of the conversation. Shot reverse shot is used during a conversation. The camera is pointing to the person speaking and alternately changes according to the dialogue. This is when the 180° rule is most important. Both of the characters must stay on their side of the lens throughout the whole scene whether half of the back of their head is facing the camera or they are speaking their dialogue and their whole face is facing the camera. Not only was the shot reverse shot used, but a medium close up shot is used for most of the conversation. This shot is used to show the character's body language rather than their facial expressions, this type of shot does not make this part seem intense. When Maria says to Donna 'I think he has written to you', there is a close up shot on Donna's face. This is used to shot her facial expressions and he reaction to that line.
There is one more shot i need to talk about. This is the extreme close up. An extreme close up is a shot in which the scale of the object is even larger, as when a small object, detail or body part fills the screen. This occurs when Donna takes out the letter. There is an extreme close up on the letter to let the audience know that, that particular letter is extremely important in this episode but most importantly this scene. I believe there is a close up shot here because it resembles how much her father meant to her and that it may be last object or thought she has of her father.
There is one more extreme close up in this scene. The close up is on the keys that her fathers left for Donna. There is another extreme close up shot because once again these keys are most probably very important to her and a key factor for the episode. Extreme close up shots are used to show the audience that those object are important. It is a little like writing on the screen, 'These objets/props are important' but just portrayed in a more practical way.
