EXTRAS

The establishing shot of the tv show Extras is a tracking shot of the jury. This shows the audience that they're in a court room. The lighting was a warm, orange colour to show it is a soap show. As the scene progresses we see the two layers start a fight, the three person shot angled so each lawyer is one either side of the judge. The judge then tells them to "kiss and make up" in this sections the two lawyers come closer together until the camera cannot see the judge and he is no longer in the middle of the fight. The director then yells cut as the lighting changes to a bright naturalistic white colour to show how this is now reality. The camera angle then shows over cameras and microphones along with directors. This lets the audience know how the previous scene was them shooting a tv show. The sound while the lawyers are fighting gets louder until they kiss, then stops abruptly when the director yells "CUT". We then see one of the extras in the next scene as she has a telephone conversation with someone who is annoyed with her. We know he is annoyed as they show the reaction shots of the second person.
