angles/shots
pov-other mother,makes her seem stronger,bigger, more dominant.
high angle-makes wybie look over powered, weak and vulnerable
wiewer-makes viewer feel sorry for/scared for "other whybie"
why did the director do this?
-foreshadowing-hinting at what is to come.
-hinting that maybe the "other mother" isnt so wonderful
-other techniques spotlight on whybie-like hes on the spot/under focus- dark around creates creepy atmosphere
in the scene with the "other mother" and the "other whybie" we see high angle shots used to show the theme 'looks can be deicieving'. we see this when the "other mother" asks the "other whybie" to smile but he hunches over and frowns instead. this makes the audience feel sorry for the "other whybie" because he looks scared. the use of a high angle shot from the perspective of the "other mother" adds to this feeling as it makes the "other whybie" look weak and vulnerable. the director did this to foreshadow the change of the "other mother" from creepy to more creepy. coinciding with this is the use of lighting. a spotlight is on the "other whybie" emphasising that he is under the focus of the "other mother". this reminds of earlier in the film where a low angle was used to make whybie seem big and scary but really he was just ordinary. this links the scene because it also shows a momemt when the look of a character was decieving.
