The long shot highlights the scenery and shows that it is desolate. The altering of close ups to medium shots show this erratic scene as it envelops into more chaos.  The changing angles of close up to POV of the camera creates this more sincere yet frightening scene, as it makes the audience question what is to come of this. 2) How does the camerawork give the audience clues about the setting, narrative and character? The bodies and the main character's acting shows he is not sued to this environment  furthermo...

  1) Find a film clip on YouTube that uses sound in an interesting way. Analyse the use of sound, making sure you use the key language we have learned about sound in film: Kingsman:Secret Service https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZCtSq3yDPs Diegetic and non-diegetic sound Diegetic sound : the physical sounds of violence like punches and gunshots, ears ringing, and the church bells and dialogue within characters in separate scenes. Non-diegetic sound: the loud, driving rock music of "Free Bird" that plays throughout the fight, completely unrelated to the church setting Parallel and contrapuntal sound There is use of parallel sound through the rock and high paced song through the fight scene Sound bridges The music "Free Bird " is used throughout multiple different scenes in the church throughout the clip Remember to discuss/analyse all the different types of sound present in the clip: Music deliberately used to up the pace, and create an entertaining and chaotic envir...
