Acting encompasses the actors body language, facial expression and appearance. In this scene, Rose's acting is used to portray a more innocent and loveable version of her character. This is shown through her knocking her head on the door, eliciting empathy from the audience. Additionally, her asking Chris if he has packed everything resembles that of a mother, evoking a feeling of security and suggesting that Rose is a safe and trustworthy character. ]]> 2018-02-21 00:36:14 UTC https://padlet.com/m_t_beckett/gobhsapartment/wish/233563611 annika_lad01 https://padlet.com/m_t_beckett/gobhsapartment/wish/233563619 Refers to everything that is seen within the frame including the setting, costume, lighting and staging; which helps convey a specific meaning.
In this still of Chris' apartment, the placement and style of the objects portrays a modern city lifestyle of the protagonist. The natural source of light from outside establishes a safe and known environment, whilst the grey, blue and mustard yellow colours become familiar tones throughout the film; creating many moods from danger to entrapment. The inclusion of the photograph with a Caucasian child covering his face (with a mask) has a particular connection with the opening scene and foreshadows events further on in the film, suggesting that the antagonist(s) have kept a close eye on Chris for a long time.]]> 2018-02-21 00:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/m_t_beckett/gobhsapartment/wish/233563619 chelseadewitt989 https://padlet.com/m_t_beckett/gobhsapartment/wish/233563683 Sound is a convention that refers to all of the audio in a film. This can include sounds such as soundtrack, score, sound effects, diegetic and non-diegetic sound, dialogue, speech noise, specific pitch, timbre, duration, rhythm and silence. 
"Redbone" by Childish Gambino is used as the score in this scene. As Rose enters and exits the line "stay woke" is sung, proving symbolism as Chris needs to be careful of what he is going into. The rest of the sound is mostly diegetic sound of Rose and Chris talking. ]]> 2018-02-21 00:36:44 UTC https://padlet.com/m_t_beckett/gobhsapartment/wish/233563683 bggaudion https://padlet.com/m_t_beckett/gobhsapartment/wish/233563794 Camera angles, shot sizes, focus and camera movement can all be manipulated to convey meaning in a shot.]]> 2018-02-21 00:37:33 UTC https://padlet.com/m_t_beckett/gobhsapartment/wish/233563794 annika_lad01 https://padlet.com/m_t_beckett/gobhsapartment/wish/233564181 Creates a certain mood and meaning for a scene.
In this shot, Rose steps out of an elevator into a corridor, transferring from blue to yellow lighting (this can be seen as going from low-key to high-key lighting). This implies that Rose is secure but not entirely safe in the cool hues, which represent Chris' setting. However, she is portrayed to be more comfortable in the warmer coloured light, symbolising her true nature which is dangerous for the African American protagonist and alarms the audience.]]> 2018-02-21 00:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/m_t_beckett/gobhsapartment/wish/233564181 https://padlet.com/m_t_beckett/gobhsapartment/wish/233564204 2018-02-21 00:40:03 UTC https://padlet.com/m_t_beckett/gobhsapartment/wish/233564204 https://padlet.com/m_t_beckett/gobhsapartment/wish/235157789 The apartment scene is the beginning of the main story line between Chris and Roses relationship. ]]> 2018-02-25 22:27:33 UTC https://padlet.com/m_t_beckett/gobhsapartment/wish/235157789
