Film Language Test Learner Response

WWW: Some excellent points made, particularly on camerawork.

EBI: Make sure you fully explain each point, paragraphing clearly will help with this. You mix up camerawork and editing in places, be careful of this in the future.

LR: Re-write Q1


 What does the mise-en-scene suggest about the characters and events in the film?

Firstly, the Keaton is made up to look like e has been beaten up, which implies to the audience that  this is a vulnerable character. The costumes used are very classic as the villain is dressed in a long black coat and hat, which is classic noir costume.

The props used in this scene all represent and support the theme of thriller/crime genre. For example, the villain has a gun, there are shots of dead bodies.

The lighting used is low-key lighting, which is typical for this genre as it suggests criminality of some characters.

The slow movement of acting creates suspense and the deliberate actions by the villain suggests his power over Keaton. Keaton does not move, which suggest that he is powerless as he is trapped.
