This is because it tells the events of different people, which then leads up to a singular event of the actual person he is talking about. After that he tells an alternative story of the same people so the event of the person he is talking about ends up in a different predicament.]]> 2016-10-14 15:14:29 UTC https://padlet.com/s0308492/qg5q0mmr2h6v/wish/130773368 s0308492 https://padlet.com/s0308492/qg5q0mmr2h6v/wish/131055128 Starts with an Establishing shot- Sets the scene, which is an old looking hospital reception.
Mid shot- To sow some of the character, doesn't show all of him because in the following scenes you only hear him.
Pan shot- Starts from feet to head- To show what the character is dressed like, which gives us more of an understanding to what the dress style was like when it was set- Done slowly to show that the scene starts off slow to set the mood and lets us know its going to be sad- Character has a sad expression to show to show us what the mood should be like.
Mid shot- Shows women coming out of a door- This is to show us the character and what to focus on at that point in the movie- you can't see much else in this shot.
High angled shot- High because she is walking down  the stairs- Only uses little panning movements- Symbolises that she is about to turn around and go back up.
Mid shot- Same as before but now the women is opening and enter the door.
Mid shot- All you can see is the women, a coat wrack and a mirror. As the man telling the story says "coat,"  the women picks up the coat.
Quick pan- This does this because the women moves quickly to answer the phone.
Freeze Movement- The panning stops as the man, who is telling the story says "so she stopped to answer it."
Mid establishing shot- When she answers the phone all we can se is her from the waist up and what looks like to be a living room.
Panning establishing shot- It is showing a different scene that is important to the character. It shows a a stage full of dancers dancing. This is because the story teller is talking about "daisy" (the character the story is based around) rehearsing]]> 2016-10-17 07:48:45 UTC https://padlet.com/s0308492/qg5q0mmr2h6v/wish/131055128 s0308492 https://padlet.com/s0308492/qg5q0mmr2h6v/wish/132328418 Throughout the scene they use more off these scenes that hold more symbolism. 
Towards the end of the scene they use a birds eye view shot this is so we can see the whole tragedy that is happening to Daisy. She gets by a car and so we can see the surrounding reactions it uses a birds eye view. ]]> 2016-10-21 13:08:34 UTC https://padlet.com/s0308492/qg5q0mmr2h6v/wish/132328418 s0308492 https://padlet.com/s0308492/qg5q0mmr2h6v/wish/132331494 The movie was originally a book. Within the story the writer quotes Eric Roth the quotes used are within the movie.
“It’s a funny thing coming home. Nothing changes. Everything looks the same, feels the same, even smells the same. You realize what’s changed, is you.” ]]> 2016-10-21 13:18:26 UTC https://padlet.com/s0308492/qg5q0mmr2h6v/wish/132331494 s0308492 https://padlet.com/s0308492/qg5q0mmr2h6v/wish/132353208 A teenage girl called Sarah is left to babysit a child called Toby, whom won't stop crying.

Not in terms of content but in terms of camera angles.]]> 2016-10-21 20:00:40 UTC https://padlet.com/s0308492/qg5q0mmr2h6v/wish/132453199 s0308492 https://padlet.com/s0308492/qg5q0mmr2h6v/wish/132454078 The angles and shots within Labyrinth can be quite confusing because of the content making a person have a state of confusion. It begins with an establishing shot so we can see the setting and what is happening in the surroundings of the character. Through out the rest of the scene it shows mid shots and full body shots this is so we can see where the character is and how the character is stood, weather it be upside down or jumping from one set of stairs to another. At one point in the scene it has a point of view shot. This is in the eye view of the goblin king looking up to the other character. This is shot at a low angle to show he is upside down looking up at her because he is in weird standing position in contrast to the other character. The last shot is an establishing shot because you see her surroundings and what she is falling into no where. It shows the scene that had the stairs tearing apart and withering away. What makes it an establishing shot is the sky behind them. It shows the set is going to be gloomy. You can tell this because of the colours purple and black that are used.]]> 2016-10-21 20:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/s0308492/qg5q0mmr2h6v/wish/132454078 s0308492 https://padlet.com/s0308492/qg5q0mmr2h6v/wish/162382271 The Goblin King moves as if he s comfortable with the confusion of the room while the girl scatters and seems stressed with the room. This is done because it adds more to the fact that she has a certain amount of time and the longer she is stuck in the room the less time she has left. the girl also goes up and down the stairs that led towards the king because she knows that she knows that he has her brother.]]> 2017-03-24 12:22:07 UTC https://padlet.com/s0308492/qg5q0mmr2h6v/wish/162382271 s0308492 https://padlet.com/s0308492/qg5q0mmr2h6v/wish/162416392 The outfits and makeup of the scene is very out going for the Goblin King, while the grill is very minimal. This could have been done to show that because he rules over her or is seen to have a bigger character he needs to look more important and should be seen to have more of a personality through his look. The clothes they wear don't change to much for the girl case she is on a mission to save her brother it wouldn't make much sense if she did have an outfit change. The clothes she wears in this scene is simple. This is could be because the film makers want you to focus more on the story and what they are saying, rather then focus on what there wearing.]]> 2017-03-24 14:00:52 UTC https://padlet.com/s0308492/qg5q0mmr2h6v/wish/162416392 s0308492 https://padlet.com/s0308492/qg5q0mmr2h6v/wish/162419064 In the scene there are very minimal use of props, the only prop used is a glass orb. This prop is important because the camera uses a tracking shot to lead to little brother that the girl is trying to save.
