Colin Clark, an employee of Sir Laurence Olivier's, documents the tense interaction between Olivier and Marilyn Monroe during the production of The Prince and the Showgirl.
Setting:
Set in the 1950's and 60's, firstly in a theatre when Colin is watching Marilyn on the screen, there are other people in the theatre surrounding him, also enjoying watching a beautiful women on the screen.Then it goes to a beautiful home, in the English country side, there is lots of greenery around. Its like castle, you can tell the family are well off. Then it goes to busy London, the posh part, with cars, detached buildings which you can tell are higher class. You then go inside on of the buildings, which has alot of wood and posh finery.
Lighting:
At the start its a spotlight on Marilyn as Colin watches her on screen, the spotlight focuses on her beauty. Then when it switches to outdoors its natural lighting, and then when ever the scene is inside the lighting is indoor lighting.
Costume:
Very glamorous dresses that Marilyn wears, the men wear suits, everyone is smartly dresses, with fitted clothing, everyone is very well-dressed as they are upper class people.
Acting:
At the start there is mainly men in the audience, they are all enjoying being there as they are watching such a beautiful lady on screen. The actors are very well spoken, with clear Britsh accents.
Editing:
The credits are at the start, they are shown very elegantly like the movie is. It switches from the castle to the London streets then back to the rural landscape.
Camera Shots:
Panning out, to focus on the large house, then close up on peoples faces to show expression and the mood. When Colin is waiting for a job in films, he waits for hours, so keeps switching what he does, sitting, standing, looking around, each shot lasts for about 2-3 seconds, this is also part of the editing, as it is a wide shot but changes frequently.
