Sex and the City

(H-Ref 1).

I chose to watch Sex and the City for the task where we had to see the different shots that show who, what, where, when, why.

WHO: I found that the introduction to the show, before the show even starts a close up of Carrie Bradshaw tells us the who.

WHAT: A mid shot in this specific episode is of a shrinks office, symbolising that the WHAT is Carrie Bradshaws problems.

WHERE: There are numerous wide shots of New York streets throughout all of the Sex and the City episodes, making it clear it is set in New York.

WHEN: There are various times within singular episodes shown, I didn't really think that any specific shot symbolised this as there were no specific times shown. Instead you could just tell by the shades of light etc.

WHY: Why is symbolised by close ups of Carrie where she is venting about men who cause most of her problems.

HOW: Close ups of Carrie being on her own again, in her apartment show how she has ended up at the shrink and how things haven't worked out.
