One Tree Hill is an American serial that has been running since 2003. It is set in a fictional town Tree Hill in North Carolina. The first few seasons of One Tree Hill is mostly focused on a group of High School kids with the original plot being about two half brothers, Lucas Scott and Nathan Scott who start off being worst enemies, going to large extents to hurt each other, and as the episodes go on, the bond and friendship builds with these two characters.

The plot, (with it being a high school), also focuses on also focuses on relationships with friends, partners and parents. It’s a strong plot with lots of drama, as what happens in high school, where all the characters go from innocence to experience. There are a few different types of shots in One Tree Hill, most are medium close ups, MCU’s (stomach upwards). We also see cut away, CA, which is usually a shot of something other than the current action that’s happening in the movie or show. For example, while two people might be having a conversation the cut away could be shots of landscapes, ECT. We also get some wide shots, full body shots. These are not as commonly used as the MCU’s in this show, but are used when someone is entering a scene or used to see a scene from a different view. These types of shots are best suited for this type of television show as it is a drama, there are lots of conversations between two people where wide angled shots would not be needed. The camera angle most of the time in this shot are at eye level, I think they use this to help us feel like we are involved with the scenes, to get us to be more apart of it. Lighting is used well in this show, they try to make is look as natural as the can, but when certain parts and scene’s happen in the

    For most of the movie natural lighting is used considering over half of the movie is shot outside. While the sun may cause there to be glares when shots are taken, they normally use special lenses to help with adjusting to the light allowing for a clearer picture. The natural lighting suggests that the movie is more realistic in most aspects. However, there are few scenes that were shot at night to where there were not any available natural lighting so other techniques were used. Lighting such as flares, fires, car lights and flashlights functioned as lighting during the night.

Special effects are used to make some scenes, such as heaven and the afterlife, seem supernatural and unearthly.…
