Best Writing


SEXXXY 1
Sound effects in “The Power of One” were used effectively.
For example John G Avildsen  used this technique during the hand him up scene with the chicken hanging.
This makes the audience feel  the intensity in the scene.
The director's purpose was to make the scene more dramatic.
This combined with music made this more dramatic .
This can be link to the film “Star Wars” with the effect of the lightsabers where they fight each others.
SEXXXY 2
Along with sound effects, Low angle and high angle shots were used amazingly in the film.
For example with the scene of Geel Piet And Sgt Boorman in the prison.
This makes  us feel that Sgt Boorman has authorities and power over Geel Piet.
This was done to show that prisoners  never had power over the guards.
Combined with costume made us think they were in a prison with the costumes of the prisoners and the guards.
This can be seen later on in the film outside the concert where Sgt Boorman is beating Geel Piet up that Sgt Boorman had way more power than Geel Piet did.
SEXXXY 3
Close ups were really important during the film along side the sound effects and low and high angle shots.
For example we see this with the poo in the the scene where Geel Piet had to eat poo.
This created sad effect to see someone do this to others.
This was done to show punishments for not following rules and orders.
Combine with the sound effect of the flies this made us thought it was actual poo not fake poo.
This can be linked to almost to any film where there would be close ups of other people's faces  and their emotions and feelings.
SEXXXY 4
Symbolism was another important technique, alongside the  closeups, sound effects and low and high angle shots.
For example with the scene where we see the medicine man help P,k.
This  shows us that elephants were symbolising courage and strength.
The purpose was to show deeper meaning to the elephants.
Combined with a flashback during the fighting scene of P,k and Gideon's fight where P.K gets knocked out and has a flashback to the scene wit the elephants which gave him to courage to fight more.
This can be linked to other items in the film such as the Bracelet given to him by his mother, which symbolised love and was given to Marry by P.k.

  1. What I like about this essay is how much effort you put into this. The Symbolism From SEXXXY 4 Reminded me of Lord of the flies where the pig symbolised the devil. I think next time to make this better you could add an introduction and conclusion.
