Why I have chosen Pink Floyd – Another Brick in the Wall I have chosen Another Brick in the wall, because I know the song very well.

Childish Gambino - This is America Shot duration: 1min39 secs, extremely long  Cinematography: slow zoom in to chair centre frame  Transition: black to first shot M-E-S: warehouse with chair and guitar in the middle before man sits down to play it.

Brick in the wall refers to the numerous events that happened in his life to make him into the man he is today. Flash back to teacher telling him off and making fun of him as a child All shots of the teacher are taken as low angle shots – inferior/child’s view  M-E-S: in an old classroom with teacher surrounded by children. Don’t follow 180 o  rule deliberately to separate the child from the teacher  Child upset and targeted by the teacher Slightly low angle to show that the child isn’t inferior/ the teacher is treating him badly. M-E-S: smart child, young-looking to look vulnerable. The teacher then hits him and you sympathise because you can see the shock on his face due to the use of a close-up ...
