Analysis Of Imperial Dreams

Decent Essays

In Imperial Dreams directed by Malik Booth, one scene shows the main character Bambi letting his son: Daytone riding a horse, which portrays both his son and his happiness even though they aren’t in a happy environment. This is shown through different shots and techniques such as; a medium shot showing Daytone riding the horse; a close up on Bambi’s face to show his facial expressions and actors performance; lighting and colour ; and a long shot to show Bambi paying the man who owned the horse, money for the horse ride. All these help to show happiness in Bambi and Daytone.

Malik Booth uses a medium shot to show happiness. Happiness is shown on Daytone’s face when he is seen riding the horse. The medium shot shows Daytone with a big grin on his face, brightening up his whole face while sitting on top of the horse. Earlier in the film, we see Daytone playing with a toy horse, which normally means he likes it. He also doesn’t recognize Bambi which means that Day didn’t know his own father. But now Day stays with his father and having him ride an actual horse is like a big present that is given to us on our birthday or Christmas. Which normally feels exciting and ecstatic. For Bambi to give this ‘gift’ to Daytone which symbolizes the horse, shows the audience how much he cares for him and that he shows it through this scene.
