English - Power of One SEXXY Paragraph

For English, we had been learning about film study with the movie of The Power of One. This movie is about an English boy who tries to help the Africans who had their country taken away from them. We had been learning how to use a certain type of sentence structure known has SEXXY and we've been learning how to use that sentence structure in movie shots such as the longshot down below. Carl has been helping me with this paragraph by suggesting ideas.






Statement
The guard is in the foreground showing the power and he’s holding a baton while the others in the background showing the lack of power.

Example
In the long shot, we can see the guard holding a baton while looking at the others showing he has business with them.



Explanation and Effect on Audience

The explanation on this scene is the long shot gives us information on what’s to be anticipated/ The Effect it can give us is the emotions of fear because we know what is going to happen and it’s not going to be a good time.

Your Link

The Longshot of the officer about to hit Geel Piet can be contrasted to the scene where the Africans are going up to the hill where Maria’s grave who is an Africanus that is respected by the Africans while the officer is despised by the Africans.
