Motion Picture Analysis
Step 1. Pre-viewing
The film I chose to watch was To Kill A Mockingbird,(record group source). I think that this film will display the hardships people faced during the depression era. This film will also contain life lessons like overcoming challenges, moving on with life and equality among men. It will also have characters of authority, teenagers/children and victims.
Step 2. Viewing
To Kill a Mockingbird is a Theatrical short subject. It has physical qualities such as dramatizations, some narration and is shown in black and wide. The atmosphere of the film is old timely and in the depression era giving it a dark, unwelcoming feeling. Most of the film is pretty laid back and slow leading up to dramatic impulses.
Step 3. Post-viewing …show more content…
It did feature a lot of challenges for the characters throughout the film. For instance, Atticus had to decided whether to defend Tom Robinson in court even though the people of his town would turn their backs against him. The movie did feature a lot of stereotyping and racism. Most of the town people demonstrated discrimination towards the blacks. Tom was immediately tried guilty because he was black. Also, the children were prejudice towards Boo without knowing who he really was. The overall message throughout the film is to always respect one another despite differences. Atticus teaches his daughter not to fight with anyone no matter what they say to her. Atticus also shows tolerance towards prejudice people like Robert Ewel and the townsmen. This film has great strengths in communicating its message. It shows how stereotyping can hide the truth. The maker of the movie could have made it more fast paced to not bore some viewers, but deeper into the film the plot line became easier to follow and
