Silent Things
“Silent Things” is about an autistic man and a
woman who undergo a test between character and friendship. Many camera shots
are used throughout the film to create meanings and a story to the film. To
begin with, the establishing shot is a long shot of a beach which is known to
be a stereotypical setting to start a film. After the title, we are shown
medium shots and two shots of 2 characters a male and female. Throughout the
scene we see both the 2 characters together they copy each other with the male
mainly copying her. Arguably this is stereotypical of a person who has autism as
it shows his signs of autism such as him copying her. Another way we see that
the male has autism is by the use of body language combined with the use of his
facile expressions to show his character. With the copying, I believe the
director wanted the audience to see the connection between the 2 characters to
show their connection to each other with an interactive activity such as the
kite.
Finally. This has taken along time to post Alex. You need to keep on top of deadlines more successfully.
ReplyDeleteThis needs a lot more detail if it is a textual analysis - you have only analysed the first few shots. This is Level one work Alex. You can improve it and I would suggest that you do.
