critical reflection Q1 / film (the silent picture)/ as media studies | Page 7

CINEMETOGRAPHY: close ups, two shot and reaction shots are an important part of drama genre films, my film includes all of them and also the shooting style in my film is complex and dynamic .

SOUND: sound effects establishes location ,time or something happening off stage , in my film different sound effects and Foley sounds have been used to establish the story and location but the music in my film is challenging the conventions of drama as this type of music inclines more towards action genre ,this was done deliberately to create an intense feeling among the audience and to develop the story .

SOCIAL ISSUES AND GROUPS: My film represent social issues like drug addiction and extremism as the drug dealer(malvado ) had killed the girl in the picture for money and he has no guilt for it as he smoked weed and felt more peaceful.

As no women is casted in the film this shows male dominance which conforms to Laura mulvey theory as males are more dominant than females in films.

The cloths of the drug dealer shows that he belong to a middle class background and he don’t belong to very high status.
