 Brainstorm

-A fox wants to buy a jumbo pop from the elephant store but they won't sell it to him.

-The bunny officer steps in to help.

Technique

    -colour- bright- heartening scene, aimed at children so is colourful and engaging

    -Lighting- warm, natural, bright- daytimes, hot sunny day, fox/bunny spotlighting.

    -Camera- ( shots/angle/focus/ movement)- High/low angle- the elephant is taller, feels bigger, superior, we aren't meant to like the elephant because he wants to scene them- rough angry tone, a low angle from Fox POV and high angle onto fox make him look small.

Statements- In the 'Popsical' scene, high angle shots are used to show the imbalance of power between characters.

Evidence-We sees this when the elephant is talking to the fox. The low angle shot is used to show how much bigger and more imposing the elephant is than the fox.

X-Audience- This makes the audience feel sad for the fox because he is being refused service because of his size.

X-Director- The purpose of this is to introduce the ideas of stereotyping to the viewer. Appearing large and rough, the elephant shopkeeper refuses service because he is a fox. Strengthening this idea is the elephant quote ' go back to your side of town.

X-Other techniques- Combined with the use of high shots, we see the differences in the characters rather than the similarities. The high angle point of view makes the fox seem even smaller than the elephants towering over him.

L-Realworld link- Issues like this where people are judged on their size, race or religion are not isolated to this film. In the real world, we tackle ongoing issues of discrimination in every country, even in 2021.

Brainstorm: -The two were talking. She told him to go away because he didn't belong.

                    -The seeds of the sacred tree choose him.

Techniques:-

                   - lighting- artificial, bright, and dim- plants/ things they touched were bright, the background was dim, cold

                   -Colour- palette- neons- blue/green.purple

                                            -extremes, shows us we are someplace different/ exciting.

                   -Camera- Shots, angle, movement and focus

                                  -Tilt shot used to show the seeds- POV shot of Jake, exciting/ magical.

                                  - Conversation- mid-shot, show bodies- shows the distance between the characters.

                                  - Close up on seeds, shows ethereal movement, otherworldly. 

Statement: In the scene 'seeds of the sacred tree' lighting is effectively used to create the otherworldly experience of Pandora.

Evidence: An artificial bright light is seen as the figures run and touch things in the environment. The rest of their surrounding remain dark against these flashes of cold neon light.

X-audience- This makes the audience feel amazed and envious of the unnatural and unearthly qualities of the planet.

X-director- The director did this to make the viewer feel like they have been transported to another world where new and exciting things are possible.

X-other techniques- coinciding with this is the use of a neon colour palette. The blues, greens and purples become vibrant and otherworldly when combined with the artificially bright lights caused by movement.

Y-Your link- real-world- The lighting and colour are juxtaposed to that which we experience in the real world. Like earth, it has trees, plants and native people but they have seen vastly different from us because of the bright artificial/ neon lighting and colours
