Essay Patrice

SEXXXY 1 In the film THE POWER OF ONE high and low angles was used effectively throughout the film.

For example when geel piet was thrown to the grown by sgt boorman  you could see that sgt was standing over top of geel piet.

This shows that sgt boorman is stronger than geel piet and that geel piet is afraid of what he may do this made me feel that sgt boorman had power of him.

The director did this to show the power struggle between white and black people. The purpose of this technique is to show who has  the table of power. This was done by throwing geel piet to the ground.

Considering with this technique working well with lighting to make the scene even more awesome!!!.

This technique can be juxtaposed with p.k and bortha fighting it out at the end of the film.

The Power of One: Film Study

The First 10-15 Minutes

A typical film question will focus on those crucial first 10-15 minutes! Why? Because the director must catch and hold your attention in fifteen minutes or you won't watch the film.

Film Question: Explain how the filmmaker uses a range of film techniques to introduce such things as background, setting, character and themes in the first 10-15 minutes of a film you have studied. (NB. Film techniques include type of shots used, soundtrack, editing, etc.)

So how did Avildsen (the director of The Power of One)  manage to give you the background (especially historical background) plus introduce the setting plus introduce the characters plus the key ideas/themes?

To find out, you have to answer the questions below.

INSTRUCTIONS- PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!

• This activity will help you to practice your close viewing skills in identifying film techniques/aspects, and explaining the effect of these techniques/aspects for the viewer. This will be great practice for your film essay :)
• We will re-watch the first 15 minutes of the film TWICE.

• The FIRST time we re-watch the beginning of the film you will be focussing on the AUDIO/SOUND TECHNIQUES ONLY and answer ONLY the AUDIO  questions. These questions are written in BLUE.
