Merlin, Representation of Class and Social Status - Notes

- The camera moves with the characters, showing even though he is middle class he is important in society and the story line of the programe
- As the lady's reflection is shown in the mirror, they have used special effects to depict her as an elderly witch like women, suggesting a hidden story within the clip.
- When the fighting scene occurs the pace increases, creating a higher intensity, as both of the characters increase in pace it shows they are both of an equal authority at this point
- Inside of the clean castle the lighting is bright and pure, as apposed to the dark damp lighting of the streets outside. This shows that the people living inside of the castle are of higher worth and can afford to live in such a luxurious place. Increasing the divide between rich and poor rather than improving the well fair of everyone in their society.
- Merlin's ability to move the objects shows he isn't a normal civilian, he has power over everyone else with the use of magic. This is portrayed when special effects are used to change his eye colour and move the box in that was of the lord.
