these two shots are both completely unrelated as they juxtapose as the shower seems clean and the water is running ans she is dead. It could also symbolize that its not her time to die by symbolizing things are still going on without her.

300 Word Analysis of V for Vendetta

Chancellor Sutler's Introduction:


In this scene from the film V for Vendetta, the Chancellor is addressing a table of officials on the shady character named 'V'. I will now talk about the different shot type, angles and movements of the camera used in this scene.


Chancellor Sutler 
One type of shot that is used most commonly throughout this scene is close ups. You can get a better understanding of the emotions a character is feeling from a close up, from these close-ups you can see Evey (middle still) seems very worried and Chancellor Sutler has a very serious look. V is the only odd one out as he is wearing his mask, although it could portray his emotion.



 The film has a very low key lighting this adds the suspense to it, because if the film was in a high key lighting it would more suggest it was happy and upbeat like a comedy or a romance. Most of the shots in the clip are stationary and focus on one main main character at a time instead of panning across the room and looking around, it makes sure that you keep focus and look at the character at all times, making you feel like you cant escape. Especially with the Chancellor Sutler shots and it makes it look like we are looking up to him giving him dominance over us, showing us that he is in charge.

This is another example of the previous point, but in this shot there is only light on the character and no were else on screen giving you no were else to look making you feel intimidated, this is also a mid shot and you can really see his facial expressions due to the lack of light in the background constantly adding suspense and tension.
This is a wide shot of a panel of people, this make you feel as if you are being judged by them as they all seem very formal and again with the darkness behind giving you no were else to look making you feel trapped.

Alice in Wonderland Set Re-Make

For my set re-make of Alice in Wonderland in the theme of alien, I focused more on the mechanical side of it, turning the rabbit hole into a mechanical liar. I still included the iconic Alien though too making it into a table holding the two trays with a 'drink me' potion and a 'key', the potion was in a bowl and I changed the design of the key too look like a tooth, this would only work in one doer, like the original. The table itself is on a platform with 'levitated paths' leading to the different doors.
This is the overall set.
Instead of just having the walls plated, I added pipes and cogs to emphasise the mechanical detail. I also shaded the area around them to try and add depth to look like it was actually in the wall and not on top.
This is my re-design of the table in the iconic 'Alien' design.
