power of one

The power of one is directed by John G Avildsen I will be covering three shots that the director used I will be doing close up, long shot and diegetic in the scene with jappie and child p.k.


He uses a close up to show the tension between the two boys and the hatred that jappie shows for p.k.
It shows that jappie hates p.k because he’s an English boy and the English where the one who killed some afrikana people so for that he puts his hatred on p.k.
 director wanted to use A close up to show the tension between the two and show how the Afrikaners hated the English.
It the scene, it links back to how jappie really feels about the English and how strong his hatred is for p.k and the English.
When jappie gets caught and slapped it reminded me of when Sargent Borman said he got put down and treated like crap.


Also during that scene that scene he used a long shot to show something that is happening to a character.
You can tell because throw out that sene the long shot is used to show jappie getting slapped and p.ks chicken dying.
The director used the long shot for those scenes to show how everyone was feeling and to show how everything happened to the charter.
In the sense that used the long shots, it showed how sad p.k or the Afrikaners were an example of this it showed p.k running about wanting to get his chicken down or when the Afrikaners teacher came in and it showed how everyone was scared of him.
It shows when p.k loses that chicken the only friend he had had for a while it links back to when he loses a girl that he likes later on in the movie.
