What is the TONE SHIFT? Which literary devices created that shift? | Focus is largely on the Note Taker’s intellect, it’s a largely cheerful tone with the Note Taker showing off his skill and linguistics. This is rather juxtaposed with the Daughter acting very rude and the Flower Girl languishing in the background. | |
Setting & Props (WHY? How does this correspond to the shift?) | The scene before was in front of the theater, and this will be also. It is of course still raining but this is far enough in the scene that that should be no longer the focus. Fairly minimal props, should be focused on the the Note taker’s words. Perhaps a little dirty to juxtapose against the tone. | |
Lighting & Color (WHY? How does this correspond to the shift?) | Bluish tone, from the rain. Brightly light regardless, it’s a fairly cheerful scene. All actors, and especially the Note Taker should be easily visible. A light almost on him, he is showing off, like on stage. | |
Sound (WHY? How does this correspond to the shift?) | Diegetic Silence to reinforce the focus on his words, makes the rain stopping more obvious. | Non-Diegetic The sound of rain against the ground. It eventually fades but the character’s don’t notice, too focused on the Note Taker. |
Camera Angle (WHY? How does this correspond to the shift?) | Medium shot of the Notetaker, with other character’s coming into focus/frame when their lines happen, but always with the Notetaker. This is the notetaker’s time to show off his abilities. | |

What is the TONE SHIFT? Which literary devices created that shift? | Shift away from the notetaker’s abilities and to everyone exiting the scene. Here, most speaking character’s say goodbye and exeunt. | |
Setting & Props (WHY? How does this correspond to the shift?) | Nothing physical has changed, so no prop changes. This time, in front of a theater where the rain has stopped but is still a little cloudy. A little cloudy to keep the same lighting. | |
Lighting & Color (WHY? How does this correspond to the shift?) | Slightly less bluish, but still. The rain has stopped and the focus has changed, but the tone is still quite humors and playful. | |
Sound (WHY? How does this correspond to the shift?) | Diegetic Turn on music here, something simple and cheerful, mostly to contrast to the silence in the previous scene. | Non-Diegetic The murmurs and sounds of people leaving, to make clear that only Flower Girl, Notetaker, and Gentleman are left. |
Camera Angle (WHY? How does this correspond to the shift?) | Change to a longer shot as we see the actor’s leaving. This is longer just about the Notetaker, this is here to show how all are leaving. When the actors are gone, it makes Liza’s Higgin’s, and Pickering’s presence more obvious. | |

What is the TONE SHIFT? Which literary devices created that shift? | Ironically cheerful. Here the flower girl comes back into focus and she’s mostly complaining meekly about everything. The whole time, the Gentleman and the Note Taker make it a point to not notice her. | |
Setting & Props (WHY? How does this correspond to the shift?) | Same as before, however, the notetaker has put away his notepad and the flower girl is back in focus. Her basket is also apparent. This reinforces the shift back to her. | |
Lighting & Color (WHY? How does this correspond to the shift?) | Warmer than blue, the clouds are fading away. This brightening tone also makes the flower girl’s complaints more apparent. | |
Sound (WHY? How does this correspond to the shift?) | Diegetic Same music as before, but if none before, something light and cheerful, highlights ironic and cheerful tone. | Non-Diegetic Flower Girl's movement of flowers but generally silence. Focus on cheerful music. |
Camera Angle (WHY? How does this correspond to the shift?) | Medium shot of Pickering and Higgins in the foreground with Eliza clearly visible in the background picking flowers. This scene is about Pickering and Higgins beginning to discuss linguistics. | |

Lines from Text Utilized in this Frame (just the lines). | 60-78 “Woman: cease this detestable boohooing instantly; or else seek the shelter of some other place of worship.” - “That's the sort of thing I do for commercial millionaires. And on the profits of it I do genuine scientific work in phonetics, and a little as a poet on Miltonic lines.” | |
What is the TONE SHIFT? Which literary devices created that shift? | Angrier and rougher. HIggins is now harshly criticizing Eliza. Higgin’s use of wordplay is sharp and barbed, like Hamlet. | |
Setting & Props (WHY? How does this correspond to the shift?) | Same as before. Acting wise, Eliza should try to shrink away and Higgins should advance menacingly. This is to show Higgin’s attack and Eliza retreating. | |
Lighting & Color (WHY? How does this correspond to the shift?) | Warm again, but this time to show the intensity of the scene. | |
Sound (WHY? How does this correspond to the shift?) | Diegetic Cut the music the moment he explodes, highlights the sudden change. | Non-Diegetic None, save Higgin’s insults toward Eliza. This keeps the focus on how harsh Higgin’s is. |
Camera Angle (WHY? How does this correspond to the shift?) | Low-Angle shot of Higgins from Eliza, Higgins is dominating Eliza in this scene with his superior use of wordplay. This angle makes Higgins look more powerful and Eliza look weaker. | |

What is the TONE SHIFT? Which literary devices created that shift? | Bizarrely sharp jump back to cheerful. The focus now is on how Higgins and Pickering being quite pleased to meet each other. Compared to the previous scene, this is a rather sudden jump. | |
Setting & Props (WHY? How does this correspond to the shift?) | Same as before, Higgins instantly becomes less threatening and he and Pickering talk to each other while ignoring Eliza, who is pitifully gathering her flowers. | |
Lighting & Color (WHY? How does this correspond to the shift?) | Warm again, but like in storyboard 3, this is for the cheerfulness over the intensity. | |
Sound (WHY? How does this correspond to the shift?) | Diegetic Music comes right back in from scene three, to show the sudden jump of tone back and forth. | Non-Diegetic Eliza muttering/whimpering in the background. |
Camera Angle (WHY? How does this correspond to the shift?) | Medium shot, similar to the one in the third storyboard, this is a jump suddenly back to the same subject matter. Higgins and Pickering framed talking while Eliza is in the background. This highlights the sudden shift back. | |
