- Two-shot of Belle and the Beast eating together - pink curtains, red carpet - warm rich colours symbolising love.
- Chandelier to show riches/royalty
- Snow outside the caslte windows - picture perfect, very romantic.
- High key lighting - happy.
- Sound bridge of song "Something There" to show their love develp over the course of the song, the lyrics of the song act as a narration of this as they sing out their true feelings.
- Close up as the sugar and milk pour in the bowl by themselves - this is an enchanted and magical castle - they are helpful and friendly.
- Eye level medium shot of Belle eating with a spoon very elegantly - her dress is also pretty and elegant.
- This is in contrast to a medium shot of the Beast with food all over his face, his clothes, and the table, with his face in the bowl making load slurping noises.
- Shot reverse shot between the two of them, Belle doesn't know how to act to the Beast's table manners.
- Mrs Potts and Chip - friends of both Belle and the Beast, in a high angle two shot, to put the spectator in the position of the Beast- offer him guidance by pushing forward a spoon in encouragement.
- .
- Mrs Potts is motherly to the Beast - mother figure.
- Chip laughs when the Beast can't use a spoon, but Mrs Potts is able to shame him with just a look.
- Shot reverse shot of eye level medium shots of Belle and the Beast show them both come to a compromise of sipping from their bowls to bring them onto the same level. This is then shown in a long two shot to show that they are equal now, as they raise their bowls to each other and drink.
- The music is parallel, and lighting is high key giving off a positive mood.
- This dissolves into an extreme long shot of the two of them in the snow - the dissolve is an editing technique often used to express romance.
- Belle is wearing pink and red again - to represent their love and her beauty.
- Although it is winter, the snow and high key lighting makes the scene appear more pure, romantic, and happy, rather than cold.
- Birds sing outside - ambient sound.
- The Beast tries to coax the little birds onto his hands with seeds in a low angle medium show, but they fly away - a long shot of him approaching the birds quicker and quicker with them escaping each time shows his naivety and innocence, as he doesn't mean to scare them but doesn't know what he's doing.
- Belle shows him if he is gentle and waits for the birds to approach him then they will be more comfortable in doing so - the birds then all surround him, showing that Belle has things to teach him, and that she can complete him.
- As the couple start to have feelings for each other they don't understand them
- "..and when we touched she didn't shudder at my paw,
- no it can't be, I'll just ignore, but then she's never looked at me that way before."
- "New, and a bit alarming, who'd have ever thought that this could be?
- True, that he's no Prince Charming, but there's something in him that I simply didn't see."
- They have a snowball fight as Lumiére, Mrs Potts, and Cogsworth sing - strong friendship/family unit - they hope for the best for Belle and the Beast.
- Belle and the Beast sit by the fire in the background of a long shot of Lumiére, Cogsworth, Chip, Mrs Potts, and Babette, and read together - the mise en scéne is full of warmth, warm colours, lots of red to again symbolise their love - purples to show royalty, as well as the sheild above the fire.
- The lighting is low key but warm, as the main light source is the fireplace.
- The characters in the foreground act like a family.
Here is a video of the clip I have analysed.
