Angle, Movement and Shots

Brainstorm:

What's happening:           
                   
                          - Other Wybie standing on the stairs outside the house. Other mother                                                    asks him to smile from the doorway, instead, he frowns.

                          - Other Wybie making self smile - less of a target - head down, shoulders hunched.                               look and vulnerable.

Angle/Shots:

                   - High angle - makes Wybie look overpowered, weak & vulnerable.
                   - POV - Other Mothers, makes her seem stronger, bigger, more dominant.

• Viewer - makes the viewer feel sorry for/ Scared for Other Wybie. 
• Director - foreshadowing - hinting the Other mother isn't so wonderful 
• Other techniques - Lighting - spotlight on Wybie - like he's on the spot/under focus - dark around creates a creepy atmosphere.

In the scene with the Other mother and the Other Wybie we see high angle shots used to show the theme 'looks can be deceiving'. We see this when the Other mother asks the Other Wybie to smile but he hunches over and frowns instead. This makes the audience feel sorry for the Other Wybie because he looks scared. The use of a high angle shot from the perspective of the Other mother adds to this feeling as it makes the Other Wybie look weak and vulnerable. The director did this to foreshadow the change of the Other mother from creepy to more creepy. Coinciding with this is the use of lighting. A spotlighting is on the other Wybie emphasising that he's under the forces of the Other Mother. This reminds of earlier in the film where a low angle shot was used to make Wybie seen big and scary but really he was just ordinary. This links to the scene because it also shows a moment when to look of a character was deceiving.
