The scene analysed is set in Naoetsu‚ Prisoner of War camp in northern Japan where Zamperini was tortured and forced into labour until the end of the war in 1945. The scene uses micro features to represent Zamperini as a very strong individual who refuses to give up and finds ways to triumph even when faced with extreme adversity. The two micro features I have chosen to analyse are mise-en-scene and cinematography because I believe that they create

In the Dreamscapes film the content was stronger than the Strip Mall trilogy. Because there was a story based around the pictures‚ than just letters thrown on a screen. Although each film had a different storyline‚ they both use similar techniques to show it. Whether through sound‚ lighting‚ or soliloquies. Manipulating time and space involves
