City of God -  cinematography scene analysis The cinematography in this scene shows the division between genders and how men and women are shown differently in the film. Men are shown as more dominant as women in film. In this scene, Shaggy is the one pushing the car whilst Bernice stays inside.                           The framing of this scene creates a 'barrier'          between Shaggy and Bernice suggesting that    they will end up being separated from one  another which they later do. Their plan is to escape the city however as soon as the car starts working again, Shaggy gets shot. This shows that you can never leave the city especially not without a consequence. The cinematography once he gets shot stays the same with the 'barrier' between him and Bernice, again showing the division between genders. Shaggy ends up leaving the frame in the background and the camera stays exactly where it is showing us Bernice in the car alone. This shot shows the sepa

For this creative assignment, I have decided to do a social realism screenplay for a short film. This short film is going to be focused on two girls. Luna Evans is a 17 year old girl who is bisexual and currently suffering with depression as well as the death of her father. She has a close bond with her younger brother and sister, however her and her mother do not get along well as her mother does not accept her sexuality. Marley Scott is 18 who lost her parents when she was young. She is homeless as her Aunt and Uncle kicked her out for doing drugs. With both girls feeling lost and alone, they end up finding one another on the top of a roof. Watching the sun slowly set, they share their whole life stories together (along with their awesome taste in music) and realise how much that that one person can change your life forever.

In the first scene, Kapadi uses home footage to show how young and happy Amy was as an adolescent in 1998. We see a clip of her singing happy birthday to one of her best friends. It then skips forward to January 2001 and then six months later we see her in a rehearsal studio in North London. Kapadi again uses old footage that was shot of her in the studio. He uses voiceovers to give context to the home footage clips. He sometimes slows down the clips for it to fit with the voiceovers. This technique creates a more intense atmosphere especially towards the end of the film. Kapadi tends to display the lyrics of Amy’s songs on screen as she is singing, with more home footage playing in the background. The way he displays her lyrics on screen help the audience to understand the meaning of the song and perhaps how Amy was feeling at the moment in her life. The lyrics also tend to fade in and out as they are displayed. This technique is used multiple times throughout the film. Most of the

The beginning of this film is in a circular narrative, it starts when we see Ofelia dying. After this, we see Ofelia and her mother in the car travelling towards the captain. As they get closer to the captain, Ofelia's mother Carmen becomes more and more sick indicating that the captain, Vidal is a bad character as he is already having an effect on Carmen. When Ofelia stops the car for her mother, she gets out and walks until she finds a rock. She walks a bit further and then finds a statue with a missing eye. The stone that Ofelia finds matches perfectly. When she places the stone in its place, a large bug flies out of the statues mouth. The replacing of the eye represents how Ofelia now has the vision to see the fantasy creatures that she soon meets in the film. No other people have this ability. The concept of eyes throughout the film can be seen as a warning to the audience suggesting that they should look closer into the film at the different elements being shown. In Spain i
