Merlin
Throughout the 10 minutes of Merlin, Series 5 Episode 6, from 10-20, there were 8 different characters, 7 different storylines, 7 different locations and 12 scene changes. The characters moved and acted accordingly to their situation. When Gwen is stuck in her chamber, she moves swiftly away from the things scaring her and reacts to diegetic sound erratically. When Arthur is working out that the knights have been in a circle and made no progress, he at first moves slowly and cautiously, as if still figuring out why the scrap of fabric is there, and then in larger sweeping movements as his anger builds and he realises that they have lost a day. The lines are also delivered differently. At first, he attempts to keep a level of calm, quietly speaking about what has happened, but by the end of the sentence he has lost it and shouts. This gives an impression of anger which, coupled with his actions portrays easily the emotion Arthur is experiencing. In the chamber in The Dark Tower, when Gwen sees her brother, Hellias, and when she sees him he starts laughing. It is obvious by the way that he laughs that he is not happy to see her or joyous, but instead he is laughing in some strange manic manner and isn’t truly there. Also, when she sees Merlin, originally his speech does not betray him to be part of Morgana’s tricks, but as she backs away, he comes back and growls at her. This, obviously, is a very odd thing for Merlin to do, and the fact that he is crouching as he does so gives him almost animal like posture and qualities, simply through his movements and speech. Morgana presents her speech in a very calculated manner, it is obvious by the way she talks that she is familiar with Gwen and is trying to make her feel more comfortable around her.

The Paradise
Throughout the 10 minutes of The Paradise, Series 1 Episode 7, from 9-19, there were 15 characters, 8 storylines, 7 locations and 10 scene changes. Ms. Lovett is originally speaking about her proposition to have store-front displays, she plays her lines very carefully, trying to convince the other store managers of her idea. Her movements are very restricted and it's obvious she's nervous. When the new lady is talking to the Jonas, he movements are very stort when he finds her, showing that she did not expect to be interrupted. Her speech is short and kurt, yet she tries to act natural around him as if she were doing nothing wrong, though it is obvious that she knows she was. Jonas speaks carefully but deliberately, much like his actions, and this gives the impression that he's chosing his words so notto offend, but to get his point across. She, however, raises she voice slightly as she talks to Jonas, showing that she's trying to stress that she is higher up the pecking order than him and that he should back down. If the lines had been read flatly, this would not have been achieved. When the Hat-seller talks to Mrs. Lovett, he speaks in a partronising tone and shouts at her. This shows that he feels she is nothing but a child and that his opinion should be taken over hers. However, Mrs. Lovett talks back to him in a similar manner, showing that she feels, not that he is a child or she should be taken above him, but that she is not a child and her opinion should be taken into account.
