Example paragraph for image on slide 4
By using a high angle shot, the director enables the viewer to see a number of features of the setting. These features include stalls, colours such as gold, orange and red and chinese script on a banner. Overall, the mood of this setting is dark and dirty - added to by the large black banner in the foreground of the shot. The costumes of the figures is also dark and gloomy, covering up most of their body, adding to the sense of shadiness and mystery.
The high angle, plus the man on the left of the shot who looks poor (almost like a beggar) in his stance and body language, creates the impression that this ethnicity is inferior and full of poverty.
