Film Terms and Techniques self test

As you look at each picture, note down as many useful points about it as you can. Even without the context for each shot, you may be surprised how much you can deduce about them. After you have noted as much as you can about each slide, click to see the name of the film it comes from. This may give you more clues.

Try this one first:

possible answers: the mesh through which she is photographed suggests a cage – perhaps that she feels trapped or that she protects herself behind it the wide screen space is filled by a door on the left and a curtain on the right, 'framing' her face in a portrait shape CU she does not seem frightened, so is more likely to be feeling secure behind her cage this idea is reinforced by the way the top of the frame seems to press on her head

the shot is from the NZ film, In My Father's Den (2004), written and directed by Brad McGann the character (played by Miranda Otto) is agorophobic and hides behind doors and windows Now begin the self-test. this is the first time she is seen so the 'portrait' effect is appropriate
