SEXXY Paragraph Writing



For the last week, we have been focusing on writing SEXXY paragraphs based around the film, The Power of One. The paragraph below is one that I wrote in a group with Nadia and Molly. The picture that we used is the scene where you see Sergeant Bormann and Geel Piet. 

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 PK and Geel Piet talking. The director, John Avildsen, used a long shot for this scene showcasing Sergeant Borman's baton to make you believe that something may happen to Geel Piet. It is also to show the guard is in a high position of power. The audience also feels a sense of worry for Geel Piet, as we believe that something may happen, based on the stance of Sergeant Boram. The audience is made to feel worried and empathetic for all of the characters in this shot. Where Geel Piet gets beaten to death, there is a strong similarity to this scene that we have mentioned. This can be contrasted to another scene were you see Sergeant Borman's legs and the baton with Geel Piet at the Sergeant's feet, almost foreshadowing the scene that came before it.
