summarising




In the series, they used editing for parts so the actors can take breaks and summarise their lines. They used sound for objects for the audience to hear. They also use Camera angles: high angle shot of Lyra to make her look vulnerable/innocent. They used props for different scenes in a fantasy world into the modern world. They used different types of costumes to see the audience which world they from. In the series they used settings like in the episode city of the sky. The show fantasy genre is witches, supernatural (daemon animals) reveal emotions of characters. The character in the show does quest and adventures into worlds and unravel the mysteries they have. The family genre is younger characters, parents/child narrative. The respiration of the female characters are strong and independent.
