As seen in (fig.5) the camera uses medium shot were Theo faces outside. The background of the scene is bright, symbolizing a new door of the future. The camera technique is a tracking shot were it follows the boat heading towards the bright background from inside the sewage. The effect of the

essay on the observation on the long shot compares the long take to life. The long take as we know is a single point of view that lacks narrative and meaning; it is the single point of view that makes it a reality, reality is always in the present tense. A montage creates meaning and coherence to a film, but by doing so it transforms the present into the past.

3. How would you describe the mood or tone of the film in visual terms? Alfred Hitchcock incorporates multiple instances of point of view editing and cross-cutting to explore man’s intimate feeling of helplessness.

Establishing shots are often used at the beginning of scenes, to give the viewer an idea of what kind of setting the following action will occur in. The next scene shows the interior of the house, taking the audience on

The point of view is also influenced by the camera work. The scene itself is long but holds the audience’s attention by making the shots change every few seconds using intercutting, thus holding the audience’s attention. In the scene, there are many different shots. The camera remains fixed and switches between shots rather than panning or tilting.

The team has come a long way from a bunch of failed sprinters and a push cart driver, to a team with a chance of winning an Olympic medal. An example of this is found, when the Jamaican bobsled team start their final race with a really swift push start and is looking promising to go on and win an Olympic medal. There is a tracking shot of the Jamaican bobsled team as

Then it cuts a wide shot of the back of the room where Valentine is standing, leaning on the edge of the door with his head lowered, still a lot of empty seats in the view. Then cuts to a medium shot of Valentine in the same position with his shadow casted on the door.
