(Mise en scene)
Setting:
- Around campus - late at night when there is werewolf attacks or when they are walking between classes
- Tables - when they are eating lunch they all sit around the table
- Dorm rooms - we see Oz's room between confrontation or we see willows room when she has had an argument with oz
- cage - when oz is trying to lock himself up
- Giles' house - buffy goes to see giles to ask him questions
- Dorm
- Woods - when they are hunting the werewolves
- Lab - willow tries to make a potion and then the big fight scene
- laundry room - when oz and veruca come back to try to find clothes
- Xanders room - when willow goes to see him for advice
Costumes:
- Buffy wears: a dress for school but then at night she wears jeans and a leather jacket, she wears a bandana. Shows her character change how she can be sweet but then she has to be strong when she has to hunt or slay vampires.
- Willow: wears long sleeve t-shirts, usually with crazy patterns on, often wears jeans, has a bag as an accessory - later on she has leather trousers on, she tries to change her look to look like Veruca. This shows her character change from being a weird character but then she tries to style her self more like veruca as she thinks its what her boyfriend wants
- Giles - wears glasses as he is a librarian and british, smart clothes - this shows that he is smart and who people can go to for information
- Oz - t shirts and jeans, casual clothing, at night when he becomes a werewolf he becomes naked - this shows he is quite calm and quiet with his casual clothing, he doesn't like to stand out but then when he is a werewolf he becomes loud and boisterous
- Xander - casual clothing, glasses - shows he is laid back, he is just lazing around in his room which gives a stereotypical view of teenagers.
- Veruca - sexy clothes - crop tops, vest tops - when she becomes a werewolf she loses all her clothing - she likes to wear sexy clothing which can reveal more skin, she wears black as a primary colour which shows her to be the bad guy, she also wears a red top which makes her character look seductive and she wears this with a short grey skirt.
- Oz and Veruca have werewolf costumes are quite poor, they're very hairy and looks like he is in a costume - for the programme it makes it look like a low budget series.
Props:
- rifle - silver bullets to kill werewolves, uses tranquilliser for Oz
- books
- newspaper - checking for articles for attacks
- computer
- radio - when giles is talking to the radio
- potions - willow uses them to try make a spell for oz
- stake - Buffy always has a stake to kill vampires
Make up:
- Buffy and Willow have minimalistic make-up, just casual lip gloss - looks quite natural looking which shows that they don't mind as much about their appearance
- When Buffy becomes the vampire slayer she has more make up to make her look more serious i.e. eye make up but still its not that much
- Veruca in human form has black eye make up which makes her look a bit more sexy but also can make her look more evil. When she is in wolf form she has a lot of make up on the face to make her look hairy.
- The men don't really have much make up just to make the features on the face stand out
- Oz has make up when he turns in the werewolf to make it look a bit more realistic
camera shots:
- lots of wide shots to show some of the back ground but also the characters
- long shots to show the full costumes of the characters
- close ups of willows face when she finds out what oz and veruca have done whilst in the cage
- over the shoulder shots with conversations between oz and willow but also between buffy and giles
- Oz and WIllow spend a lot of time in close proximity i.e. when they are in bed together or hugging
- Oz and Veruca also are in close proximity when they lock each other in the cage
- When Buffy and the guy in the woods run into each other and drops her gun it is still in enough reach to grab quickly and run off again
- when Oz and Veruca are fighting they are close together as they are rolling around the floor trying to kill each other
- Buffy and Oz are always a few metres away from each other, she distrusts him now he had betrayed willow
Lighting:
- All the shots are quite dark as this episode is based around the night, this is because of the full moon and the werewolves come out at night therefore it follows what they do
- It is also dark at the beginning when Buffy kills the vampire and spike is watching over her, this is because again it is late at night
- In the dorm rooms it is bright as it is the day time and they are
