The exposition for a second, related storyline and this episode's main story is when we see Monica and Chandler at a work party and it's established that he has an obnoxious "work laugh." A third storyline is introduced when Ross is angry about his ex-wife getting married. (JGB)

===Discussion questions===
 
−
How do mise-en-scene and cinematography help to communicate the story in this short scene from ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138097/ Shakespeare in Love]'' (John Madden, 1998)? (See [http://tcf.ua.edu/EO/DV/ShakespeareInLove.php video clip].) Or, in other words, how does mise-en-scene function to help construct the narrative?
 
−
#What narrative functions does the set design by Jill Quertier serve?
 
−
#*How does it use "iconography"?
 
−
#What narrative functions does the lighting design by Richard Greatrex serve?
 
−
#*Does it use three-point lighting (explain what three-point lighting is)?
 
−
#*Is it high key or low key?
 
−
#What narrative functions does the "blocking" by John Madden serve?
 
−
#*Does ''Shakespeare in Love'' use "composition in depth" in this scene?
 
−
#What narrative functions does the costume design by Sandy Powell serve?
 
−
#Considering the first two shots and Richard Greatrex's cinematography:
 
−
#*Is the focus deep or shallow? What narrative function does the focus choice serve?
 
−
#*How would you describe the framing (long shot, medium shot, close-up)? What type of camera movement is used? What narrative function does framing/movement serve?
 
−
#*Is the camera angle low, eye-level, high? What narrative function does camera height serve?
 
−
#*The theatrical version and the DirecTV version have different aspect ratios. Which aspect ratio is used for each? How did the DirecTV version alter the theatrical version?
