Waterloo Road - Shot and Reverse
These two shots are called 'shot and reverse shots'. This shows us both of the characters side of the conversation and shows us both of their emotions and feelings. This gives us the effect of a character looking at another character. This is usually used when their is a conversation between two people so we get to see how they both are reacting.
From the above pictures we can clearly see what both characters are feeling. We can see that obviously the woman is feeling and showing much more upset emotion than the man as she is crying.

Establishing Shots
These two shots are called an establishing shot. This shot establishes to setting of the scene and gives you the idea of where they are. From the first shot we can clearly tell that this is set somewhere in India or Asia. Similarly, we can tell that the second shot is set in Egypt, because we know that pyramids are in Egypt.
This is a very popular and well known establishing shot that is used at the start of every episode of 'Eastenders'. This is a birds eye view of the River Thames and is just s reminder that it is set in London, hence the name of the show 'Eastenders'.
This Girl Can
In this video, women are being represented as equal. The video is trying to get across to all women that it's okay to love who you are. As most women today are sexualised as really skinny and physically fit, women begin to think that this is what is attractive and this is what they need to look like. Therefore, feel self-conscious and not happy with their bodies. This video is trying to show women that it's okay to look how they are and is trying to get more women into sport. It shows that just because you may not be physically fit or very skinny, that you are allowed to do sports and enjoy yourself.
This scene in the video supports my point as it is aiming to 'bigger' women that even if they 'jiggle' they are more than capable of doing what much more skinnier and physically fit women can do.
The video is showing everyday women that you would see in day to day life what they are capable of. They are shown wearing what a normal woman would wear to the gym. Unlike the model women which wear much more fashionable and stylish gym clothes, which is used to sexualise and sell a product. These woman aren't being objectified to try and sell something for a business. They are trying to prove a much more important point, which is that all women are equal and all women are attractive in their own way.
This scene in the video is representing sexism in todays society. In todays society people tend to think that football is a mans sport and that women can't play this sport. However, if a woman wants to be involved in football and enjoys playing it, then why shouldn't they be allowed.
