camera angle (low, high, eye-level), vectors, lighting, composition
(4:20) How are camera angles used when Joshua says 'Thank you' (not in German)? Which angles are used to view each of the characters? What does each of these angle signify?
Joshua is in a high angle while the German Waiter is low angle. The shots signify that the Waiter rules over Joshua(4:45) What shot distance and angle is used to show Guido's concern for Joshua when the German waiter leaves the room? Describe the composition)
Guido is in a eye level medium distance to show his face and nothing else(4:46) How is shot of Guido contrasted to the shot of the German waiter walking away to tell someone what has just happened? Describe the composition and compare it to the previous shot of a concerned Guido.
it is contrasted because the waiter is in a long distance and everything is symmetrical and is geometric while Guido is not symmetrical and is not geometric. also the German being completely geometric shows power and control while Guido is out of balance a symmetric and a show of emotion.
(5:02-05) How is the shot of the German's contrasted to that of Guido teaching the children to say 'Thank You'?
When Guido is in a high angle and he is lowering himself down to the children level while the Germans have a small low angle shot and they are very rigid. also Because Guido is in the same level as the children. also when the Maid tells Guido off and then tells off the children she doesn't move at all to speak to them she just yells at them while Guido moves down to their level to speak to them and he moves his hands.
