Camera Work
- Pan around face while subject keeps a constant eye line off shot - making the subject look menacing and obsessive
- Bird eye view of both subjects - verisimilitude
- Point of view whilst in tree, also shows inferiority
- Focus changes
- Handheld while the characters POV is moving
- Distanced long shot which contrast with the previous frame making it look like a drug deal which symbolises his bad decision
- Isolation when on bus due to the background and foreground being out of focus and the subject being in-focus
- establishing shot with zoom
- Shot from beneath dad - superior
Editing
- quick cutting / short shots - creates a sense of speed because they are cut very quickly
- cross cutting between the two subjects one watching the other sleep - makes him look vulnerable and innocent and week with cuts to david looking menacing, determined and lotting across from him
- Cross cutting- of movement over time
- When he is shooting his brother - editing of the frame narrowing the audiences ability to view the whole frame therefore only focusing on the 'target' - he doesn't like his brother due to his disability
- fade in & zoom to ariel view
- zoom in on subject with voice over talking about him - helps to tell the story in the voiceover by focusing us more closely on the subject
- shows old documentary, ancient CGI video during (black and white) - symbolises evolution and his brother is a throw back of the evolution - he is a potato with eye tentacles, then it cuts to a shot of him eating in an animalistic way
- several uses of ellipsis to more the narrative along
- front on then side of same thing happening to explain while voice over
- credits appear at 2:27 - quite late on into the film. Director may have delayed the credits to introduce effectively the characters and the story
- shot reverse shots of the speakers - conversation
- Dad treated them more =ly, the mum favoured Ben and did not say goodbye to David
- Dad eats a full english, ben eat all week-a-bix, david eats nothing - ladder of superiority
- Ben tries to steal from the dads plate - he can get away with things more
- Cuts longer on dad
- Cross cutting from bus stop to holiday - David is always leading Ben and it has always been that way
- Shots in classroom are long - banter between teacher and students = normal life, only time he is away from Ben prolong normality, David will get a better job than Ben (ASDA reference)
- reflection of the explosion (could be CGI) behind his head - bad idea
- bus journey short and long shots to contrast - dizziness, also soft focus on everyone else other than Ben
Sound
- voice over of subject continues story
- music - weird upbeat but not too exciting
- explosion onto old documentary, music continues
- Sound Bridge- radio across two shots, quietens when voiceover comes on and dygetic sound
- voice over is over music again
- teachers voice is fuzzy while he concentrating on unicorn
- voices on bus is slightly muted with voice over
- music is slower and weak, sad piano, no beat
- dialogue- Ben is mumbled
Mise En Scene
- Costume is very average, working class
