My write up:
Camerawork: The camerawork is very well done in this scene. Specifically, close upper body shots of the husband and wife are shown back and forth during the argument. There are also several close ups including that of the hammer which foreshadows the scene. There are many different angles shown of the husband preparing for the guy to arrive which are very affective in showing the anxiety and anticipation of his character. Sound: The sound is very affective in this scene. When the husband first strikes the wife, as sad and melancholy sound is played, but after the second strike, an intense and faster pace music begins to play as well as the expression on the husbands face. This changes the tone of the scene. Mise-en-scène: Certain props and sets of the scene definitely helped set the mood for the scene. The single light source in the basement creates an ominous scene and foreshadows a dark event. And the bandage on the husbands nose helps showcase his personality and how the wife sees him. Editing: An up-close shot of the hammer is edited into the scene before the argument escalates. This infers that the hammer might be used during the confrontation. There is also a lot of low lighting which helps set the tone of the scene. Example write up: 9607_Example_Candidate_Responses_Paper_2_(for_examination_from_2018).pdf Compare and Contrast: In both my write up and the example write up, we highlight similar techniques used in mise-en-scène. We both discuss how the low lighting of the scene creates a dark and ominous tone. However in the other categories, we discuss different examples. For camera work, the example write up discussed how the camerawork zoomed into the washing machine and other props. While in my write up, I discussed the camerawork of the two characters while they were arguing. For sound, the example write up focused on the loud noises from the washing machine and other sounds in the scene. Instead I focused on the music and how it changed throughout the scene. And lastly, for editing, the example talks about the pace and transitions throughout the scene, while I focused on the editing of different shots, specifically of the hammer.
