Linking themes!

Workshop 2! - Linking themes to the impact of angles, Movement, and shots. 

 

BrainStorm - 

What's happening? - The "Other Wybie" is standing on the stairs leading up to the house. The Other mother asks him to smile from the doorway, instead, the other wybie pulls a long face.  The other wybie is slouching over and making himself smaller -Less of a target- Shoulders down wich shoulders hunched over making him look weak and variable 

 

Angles/Shot - 

High angle - Makes wybie look overpowered, small, weak, and vulnerable. 

Point of view - Makes the other mother seem stronger, bigger, and more dominant. 

 

Viewer - Makes viewers feel sorry / Scared for the other wybie. 

 

Director- Foreshadowing (Hinting at what's coming) That the other mother is evil and controlling. 

 

Other techniques -  Lighting - Spotlight on wybie - Like he's on the spot/Under focus. Dark around him creating a creepy atmosphere. 

SEXXY Paragraph - 

 

In the scene with the other mother and the other wybie we see high angle shots used to show the theme 'Looks can be deceiving.' We see this when the other mother asks the other wybie to smile, in turn, he hunches over and pulls a long face. This makes the audience feel sorry for the other wybie because he looks scared. The use of a high angle shot from the other mothers' perspective adds to this feeling as it makes the other wybie seem weak and vulnerable. The director did this to foreshadow that the other mother isn't as wonderful as she seems, instead she is evil and controlling. Coinciding with this is the use of lighting. A spotlight is focused on the other wybie to emphasize the fact that he is under the gaze of the other mother. This reminds the viewers of early in the film where a low angle shot was used to make wybie seem big and scary but really he was just an ordinary kid. This links to the theme because it also shows a moment when the look of a character was deceiving.
