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.

 The film for me was very anti-climatic, as the expectations I had for the finale were very different to how it played out, being a calm ending, lacking the classical shoot out that westerns usually have. After Llewelyn's death, my focus shifted to Sheriff Ed, who I expected to step up and eventually kill Anton, capping off his police career as a hero despite being lazy throughout. However, this did not happen, instead a series of scenes took place where it seemed that a final fight was going to occur, however never did. This built up tension, teasing the audience with an action-packed ending but never delivering. The film left me with an empty feeling, like something was missing, which was the conflict between Ed and Anton. Even though I felt let down by the lack of action, I do appreciate the alternative ending that was explored, something that almost never happens in westerns. It makes me think more about what is happening in the film, rather than me just watching and not really...

 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...

 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...
