Linking themes to the impact of angles, movement and shot

Brainstorm:

- What happening in this shot

other wybie standing on stairs outside the house. other mothers ask him to smile from the doorway, instead he frowns. other wybie making self smaller-less of a target-head down, shoulders hunched. looks weak and vulnerable.

- Angle/shot used

High angle makes wybie look overpowered, weak, and vulnerable, pov- other mother makes her seem stronger, bigger, more dominant.

- How does the viewer feel

makes the viewer feel sorry for / scared for other wybie?

- Why did the director do this

foreshadowing-hinting at what is to come? hinting that maybe the other mother isn't so wonderful.

 

- Additional info-music/lighting/colour

lighting-spotlight on wybie-like he's on the spot/under focus dark around creates a creepy atmosphere.

In the scene with the other mother and the other wybie, we see high angle shots sued to show the theme 'looks can be deceiving? We see this when the other mother asks the other wybie to smile but he hunches over and frowns instead. this makes the audience feel sorry for the other wybie because he looks scared. the use of a high angle shot from the perspective of the other mother adds to this feeling as it makes the other wybielook weak and vulnerable. the director did this to foreshadow the change of the other mother from creepy to more creepy. coinciding with this is the use of lighting, a spotlight is on the other wybie emphasizing that he is under the focus of the other mother. this reminds us of earlier in the film where a low angle shot was used to make wybie seem big and scary but really he was just ordinary-this links to the scene because it also shows a moment when the look of a character was deceiving.
