I'm bringing sexxy baaaaaaaack

In English we are learning about how to write a sexxy paragraph. This will help us when it comes to writing an essay for our film study. If you don't know, a sexxy paragraph is a paragraph that is structured with a statement, an example, explanation for why the director chose this technique, explanation about the effect it has on the audience, and your link. To practise this we got into groups and write a group paragraph. I was in a group with Chloe and Nadia. Below is our paragraph.

The long shot is common throughout the film including this shot of Sergeant Borman's legs while in the prison. In the foreground we see the guards legs and baton while in the background we see P.K and Geel Piet talking. The director used a long shot for this scene showcasing Sergeant Borman's baton to make you believe that something may happen in this scene, mainly to Geel Piet. We, the audience, also feel a sense of worry for Geel Piet, as we believe that something may happen based on the stance of Sergeant Borman. This shot makes the audience feel worry and empathy for Geel Piet. In the shot is strikingly similar to the one where Geel Piet gets beaten to death. In that shot you can see his legs and the baton, then see Geel Piet on the ground. This scene is almost foreshadowed by the previous scene.
