(4:20) How are camera angles used when Joshua says 'Thank you' (not in German)? Which angles are used to view each of the characters? What does each of these angle signify?
Joshua:A High Angle Shot, to show that he is small, we look down on him. The German Waiter: a low angle shot to show that he is scary and stands over us.
(4:45) What shot distance and angle is used to show Guido's concern for Joshua when the German waiter leaves the room? Describe the composition) Eye level, medium shot
(4:46) How is shot of Guido contrasted to the shot of the German waiter walking away to tell someone what has just happened? Describe the composition and compare it to the previous shot of a concerned Guido.
Guido's shot is at eye level in a sort of mid shot, where he is standing at the door and is watching with a worried look on his face. He is sort of leaning out of the doorway, bending over. Whereas the German is all stiff and formal and is walking down the corridor which is like a box. he is all straight and walks the same way all the time(5:02-05) How is the shot of the German's contrasted to that of Guido teaching the children to say 'Thank You'?
Medium and Long shot. Its all orderly when it looks at the Germans and then when it shows Guido is all dis-orderly. Its a low medium shot looking at the Germans and then a high angle long shot. You can see a separation, all the children and Guido and then the Germans by themselves.
HW: How are visual techniques utilised to evoke empathy from the audience and clearly delineate (indicate) who are the heros, villains, and victims in this scene?
