The Power of One

28.05.18

In English, we were asked to individually write a SEXXY paragraph about a particular shot that was taken from The Power of One.  Down below I have written my paragraph.

(S) The film aspect in one of the scenes the director uses a close up of Sergeant Borman with his baton against Geel Piet’s (a prisoner) neck holding him against the wall.

(E) The director has used a close up to show the audience how Sergeant Borman is standing aggressively with Geel Piet against the wall, with Sergeant Borman glaring at Geel Piet, while Geel Piet avoids eye contact.
(X) The director's purpose of using the close up is to help express the mood and outline that there is a problem going on. Which is Sergeant Borman holding Geel Piet who is very vulnerable, against the wall.
(X) Because the director used close-up, it has made the audience feel mad and helpless. This scene is causing us to feel what Geel Piet is feeling and and it’s made us nervous and scared for Geel Piet.
(Y) This aspect can be compared to when the director used a long shot in the scene where Sergeant Borman stands across from Geel Piet with his Baton. In that scene, we felt scared and angry like we do in this scene.
