Question 2 evaluation AS Media Coursework

2. In our video we make it very clear that there is only one social
group, this is because there is only one person presented in our
video that is not possessed. We have 3 possessed people in our
that are represented as outcasts and personality-less. This is
because in the sequence there are hiding in the corners, or in
the darkness. We can interpret this from hiding from
civilisation and what they have become. Then we have the
only character in the opening that is not possessed, and the
rest are presented as the same kind of person

3. Our main character in this is the only person not possessed.
We also present him as the main feature of the opening
because we spend a lot of time following his actions
(researching and walking). The audience can tell he is in a
high social group due to the mise-en-scene, this is by his
clothing choices. But also they can learn a lot about him due
to is state of mind. Is he obsessed with this topic of
possession or just curious, and we can tell this by all of the
pictures and research on demonic possession in his office. We
can also tell that he is the dominant character because the
way we have used camera angles. The last shot which is at
the top of his page is a long angle close up shot, we can see
him looking down towards his son in the basement
demonstrating him at the dominant character.

4. In light of all of this I believe that we have got a higher class
character and outcasts (possessed people). I think we have
demonstrated this very well due to camera angles and mise-
en-scene. We thought through all of these very carefully by
going through who we wanted to look dominant and
subdominant.
