The poster analyzes a scene from the TV series Star Wars Rebels where two Jedi fight Darth Vader. It describes how the dark costumes of Vader and the Stormtroopers depict a cold and powerful aura, while the Jedi's green and the padawan's orange costumes symbolize tranquility, determination, and hope. The lightsabers identify which side each character is on. The lighting and camerawork establish Vader's commanding presence and that the Jedi feel small and insignificant against him. The editing and music build dramatic tension throughout the intense fight between good and evil.

19. Clip Analysis
The clip I am referencing is from a series called Star Wars Rebels and It show two
jedi fighting Darth Vader.
The costumes from Darth Vader and the Storm Troopers
Come off as very dark and pale, one colour depicts a very cold and emotionless
feeling while the other describes a more mysterious and powerful yet menacing
aura. The costumes of the jedi and padawan are more natural but have different
meanings, the jedi is dressed in different kinds of green to tell us that he
symbolizes a kind of tranquillity and awareness about him. While the padawan
costume is a nice calm orange to tell us that he has a character of determination,
enthusiasm and heat.
A quote from Darth Vader ”Your master deceived you” tells us that he comes
across as very threatening and someone you don’t want to mess with. And the
quotes from the jedi and the padawan “If that doesn’t kill him what will?” “Not
us, RUN!” tells us that they know there outmatched and can’t win so they need to
retreat.
The props used by both Sith and jedi the lightsabres tell us which side the two are
on, one is a blood red while the other is a calm light blue, which help them stand
out in the background because they’re laser swords.
The lighting on Darth Vader depicts that all he brings is destruction and chaos
when you cross his power. And the lighting on the jedi and padawan shows us
that they are fighting for their survival and hope they can defeat the dark that is
the Sith.
The camerawork on Darth Vader is shown with us looking up at him which tells us
that he has a commanding presence and a overflowing sense of fear when others
see him. While the jedi are shot like they are small and insignificant compared to
Vader.
The editing of the clip is depicted as to be very dramatic and tense to show the
jedi are fighting to survive the fight with the Sith lord.
The music in the clip starts of slow, quiet and eerie and then when action starts
the music gets faster, more suspensive and tense, when Vader gets crushed the
music cuts out to assume the worse is over, but then he lifts it off him and the
music starts up again, when the jedi and padawan escapes the music fades away
to signal it’s over.
