Submarine pictures


In this picture, Jordana (played by Yasmin Paige) is standing in the centre of the screen. The
background of the picture is completely blurred compared to Jordana, who is very visible and
easily to see. This suggests that she is the main focus in this picture and that nothing else is
going on in the background. It could also be what Lloyd is seeing and we are looking through
eyes, because Jordana could be the most important thing for him and it could be the main focus
in his life. The lighting on her face compared to the dark underside of the pier, implies that she
is a bright character and again, could also be the light if Lloyd's life. The camera shot is slightly
below eye line, which proposes that Jordana may think that she is more important than
everyone else and she is better than everyone.











In this image, the character Lloyd (played by Noah Taylor) is sitting directly in the middle of the screen. Although everything is visible on the picture, he seems to be the main character that you can see. He is lloking off in the distance suggesting that he is not paying attention to the class and is off in another world dreraming about recent events in the film. The lighting in this is quite evenly distributed and doesn't seem to reflect anything. Lloyd is sitting at the edge of the class, but still in the middle of the screen. This suggests that even though he is at the edge of society or maybe just hated by others, he is still the centre of attention for the audience. The camera is directly eye line, showing that he is different but still the same as us.

Bollywood in the 1970's / 80's

Bollywood By 1970, Hindi cinema was thematically stagnant and dominated by musical  romance films . The arrival of screenwriting duo  Salim-Javed  ( Salim Khan  and  Javed Akhtar ) was a paradigm shift,  revitalizing  the industry. They began the genre of gritty, violent,  Bombay underworld crime films  early in the decade with films such as  Zanjeer  (1973) and  Deewaar  (1975).  Salim- Javed  reinterpreted the rural themes of  Mehboob Khan 's  Mother India   (1957) and  Dilip Kumar 's  Gunga Jumna  (1961) in a contemporary urban context, reflecting the  socio-economic  and  socio-political  climate of 1970s India and channeling mass discontent, disillusionment and the unprecedented growth of  slums  with  anti-establishment  themes and those involving urban poverty, corruption and crime. Their "angry young man", personified by  Amitabh Bachchan , reinterpreted  Dilip  Kumar's performance in  Gunga Jumna  in a contemporary urban context and anguished urban p

Representation of disability and ability  In films, people you suffer from disabilities are often represented in many different ways. Some could be positive, some could be negative. A perfect example this is in the scene from Wonder called the School Tour. In this scene, people with disabilities such as Auggie, are represented in a negative way. They are represented as being shy, quiet and being afraid of people. This is evidenced by the use of character facial expressions and movement and sound ( both an element of mise-en-scene, which are micro elements of film form). When all the children walk into the science lab, Julian asks Auggie some obvious questions to try and make him feel stupid. Auggie then turns his face away from them and doesn't say anything. He is then told by Jack that he has to reply to Julian and say something, but when he speaks, he is still looking at the wall and he answers in a very quiet way. This representation strengthens the stereotype that people

FILM STUDIES COURSEWORK The Babadook At the start of the film, it fades in and out from the scene. It fades to darkness and then fade back to the scene. The main character is shown at the start. We see that she is in a car crash and is in distress. The fading implies that the woman is having a life or death situation and is literally fading into darkness. The first sequence is almost all darkness. It is hard to make out anything that is in the scene. This could imply that there is something there that the audience   and the main characters can't see. There could be something in the darkness   watching them. The main character's hair is messy and dirty, this instantly shows us that something bad is happening and this is not a normal situation. It also shows that she is distressed and anxious. The opening sequence is set inside the main characters old house, this makes it more eerie and adds more of a scary effect. The Conjuring We see classic conventions of a horror film in the
