YR 10 CLOSE VIEWING ASSESSMENT Alicia Raroa

This is my close viewing assessment.

The Power of One, directed by John G Avildsen, is a movie about the Apartheid in South Africa. The scene where Botha stands on the stage saluting Hitler we see the director Avildsen use this three-technique: Low Angle shot, Diegetic sound and a Longshot. These techniques helped show us. so it causes the scene to have a strong impact on the audience.

In the scene where Botha stands on the stage, we see the director use a low Angle. For example, we see Botha stand tall to show that he is powerful. The purpose of that techniques is to show us that Botha thinks he’s better than everyone.

This technique created an impact by showing us that Botha is powerful and looks down upon P.K. This makes some of the audience feel Intimidated. I can relate to this because there are people that I know who look down upon others.

In the scene where Botha was saluting Hitler, we see the director use diegetic sound. For example, we see that the German national anthem was playing in the background. The purpose of that techniques is to show us that everyone supports Hitler's choice. This makes the audience see that the Afrikaners support Hitler. This might make the audience think that the Afrikaners are mean people.

This technique created impact by showing us that Botha and every one (But P.K) have pride and look up to Hitler. I can relate to this because I have pride in my country and school.

In the scene where Botha was saluting Hitler, we see the director use a long shot. For example, the director, John G Avildsen, use a long shot to show that they are saluting to Hitler. The purpose of that techniques is to show us that everyone has pride in their country. This technique created impact by showing us that Hitler was a respected person to the Afrikaners. This might make the audience think that the Afrikaners will take over South Africa again.

In the conclusion, in the film The Power of One directed by John G Avildsen we see the use of these techniques: Low Angle, Diegetic sound and a Longshot in this scene. These techniques show us how strong and powerful the Afrikaners are. This created an impact on the audience, causing them to believe that the Afrikaners are strong.
