mise en scene: citizen kane
Wide shots to make the child look small and alone
Boy between mother and man
Woman close to camera
Man is in the middle
He as influence on her because he is controlling when the pages turn
The father has no influence on the decision, he is furthest away showing this
Boy is still visible, woman stops the father as she controls him and so the camera doesnt change
Father steps in to gain importance, shows strength and camera tilts up to him
And the mother signs, the boy is visible again showing it is about him
She is in front showing emotional connection, she is mainly in shot, the father in background and silent
More space when he talks
Importance when the character is in the middle, power to make decisions.
Blocking is placing the characters, showing the relationships between the characters and decisions.
The mum and dad oppose each other, opposite sides of screen and relationship. Mum is bigger in the shot showing she is bigger in the relationship. The man has come between their relationship and is between them in shot, but the boy is also in the middle of them so he is caught in the middle of the situation.
Move characters determining importance and power.
