It becomes apparent early that there is a disconnect in Sean and Liz's relationship. When Liz asks Sean to sort things out in his life he vaguely agrees, opening his eyes wide an d pretending that he is listening to her. Liz disapproves of Sean's friendship with Ed, feeling as though Ed is holding him back. Liz wants desperately for Sean to get out more, and spend more time with her and her friends. Sean however even though acting like he wants to change at this point has no intentions to do any of the things Liz wants him to. There is a divide between Liz and her more middle class friends and Sean and Ed, who partake in more working class behaviours, such as going to the pub. Working Class. Pub. Beer. Messy Clothing Middle Class. Davis and Di. Restaurant Art style clothing/extravagant hat. Theatre. I think that Sean is being pulled by Liz to a middle class lifestyle, going to restaurant's and feeling obliged to go to theatre's and visit buildings. However he is content spending time with Ed, going to the pub, playing video games, and leading a working class lifestyle as it is what he is used to.

 Tim Burton is well known for his unique style of film. He has directed many films such as Edward scissor and Beetle Juice. His style is easily distinguishable from others. People have compared his work to gothic horror, as he uses dark colours and often presents the characters as very pale. Burton's work often comes across as childish and playful but changes to reveal darker more sinister undertones as the film goes on. Tim often casts Johnny Depp, as he describes him as having "good expressions and eyes that tell a tale". Depp has appeared in many Burton films, including Edward Scissor Hands, Sleepy Hollow, and  Sweeny Todd. All of Tim's films possess an overly exaggerated and often 'cartoonish' style to emphasise goth features. The mise-en-scene of the film is often dark and the props are overly detailed leading to a playful yet sinister atmosphere. The performance of the characters is often also over exaggerated leading to a once again innocent yet dark to...

 Briefly analyse how the  opening scenes  of Apocalypse Now uses the elements of  film form  to create meaning and  audience response  and how you feel this is setting up the content, themes , narrative and attitude to heroism and war in the rest of the film     Opening Scene Apocalypse Now. Apocalypse Now uses many techniques to create meaning and audience response. At the start of the scene editing is used to give us a feel of Captain Willard's mental state. Multiple layers are used to show an upside down Willard surrounded by what Willard is thinking about, the devastation of war. The fact that he is up-side down illustrates his craziness. The cinematography also tells us a lot about Captain Willard. The fact that he is having visons of war and destruction shows that he is still mentally at war as when he wakes up he states "when I wake up I think I'm still in the jungle". This foreshadows the death and chaos that is to come in the fi...

 Wasp is a short film made in 2003 documenting the life of a struggling mum and her 3 children. I will give an analysis of the film, exploring the mise-en-scene, cinematography, sound, actors and more. The film was based in Dartford, and portrays the life of  a financially struggling mum and her three young children. The film is shot with rounded edges on every scene, with a colour grading. This makes the film feel home made, giving a more realistic feel to it. Many of the shots are also handheld or tracked, which lets the audience feel closer to the characters and makes us feel more attached emotionally to their struggles.  The character performance is also very good,  as each and every character make it seem more and more believable that these events have taken place and it's a real  problem in Britain. This is achieved in a number of ways one way being through their idiolect. The language and accents used in the short are typical of people in deprived areas s...
