Research into wider media: Television Shows
‘How I Met Your Mother: Pilot’
Narrative • Ted’s best friend Marshall
proposes to his girlfriend Lily. Ted realises that he is wasting his life and gets help from Barney to score TV reporter Robin.
• They go on a date, where Ted misses the signal to kiss her, so he goes back, stealing a blue French horn where he goes to kiss her, but ends up saying “I love you.”
• After a lingering goodbye, Ted thinks about whether or not he missed the signal.
Ted spots Robin from across the bar.
Ted has stolen the horn.
Key/Compelling Shots
• This close up two shot is a key shot because it shows the pair engaging in happy romance before Ted messes it all up. It creates juxtaposition between the two months strengthening the humour given off.
Music/Sound
• There is no incidental music. This creates verisimilitude within the diegesis.
• There is a laughing track to help identify the humorous moments and make them appear more funny.
• There are a few diegetic sounds like doors opening closing, to create verisimilitude in the diegesis.
Editing
• The editing is used to make the episode flow as a narrative story. The pace of the edit is relatively slow.
• Jump cuts are also used a lot, like to go from 2030 to 2005 and this helps the story start.
• The entire story is also a flashback.
How Mise-En-Scene adds to the atmosphere
• The use of an apartment location creates a comedy atmosphere as it is a normal location for a sitcom to be set in.
• The costumes create verisimilitude as they look real and this helps create a sitcom atmosphere.
• The lighting is also aimed to create verisimilitude.
