Videos on computer screens showing, riots, fighting,
violence and abuse. A monkey is strapped to a lab table
wired to the screens. Computer blurring and mechanical
beeping follow.

portraying they shouldn'tโt be there. Also
showing they are prepared.
Language: N/A
Lighting and Colour: Dark and monotone
colours, blurry effect of screens, green/blue
filter. This allows the focus to be on the figures
in the corridor. Additionally, the monotones
show us that it is just a camera feed.
Positioning Objects/Characters: The camera is
up high to get a better field of view and the
figures are below it showing that the camera is
more powerful as it sees everything.
Sound: Limited sound, occasional beeping and the
static buzz of the camera feed.
Limited sound means the focus is only on
characters in the corridor, buzzing and beeping
shows us it is live and happening now.
Editing: Scene editing dark and filtered. Dark editing draws your eye to the characters
more.
Cinematography:
Camera Angles
High angle looking down the corridor. High camera angle denotes power over those
in corridor as camera sees all. Additionally,
gives a more general view of the area so we
aren't sure what the figures are going to do.

Description:
The characters then peer through the class in a door to observe the chimps in
the cages. Then they try and free them from captivity by entering the lab.Scene 7

around the border of the screen drawing our
focus inwards.
Positioning Objects/Characters: The camera is
at eye level to show greater show the
positioning of the character at the window.
Also the cage the camera looks through
illustrates the cages the chimps are in.
Sound: Loud sounds of rattling cages and the chimps
screaming and shouting.
This illustrates that the chimps are aware of
the intruders presence and are distressed.
They are also frustrated as they want to be free

more.
Cinematography:
Camera Angles
Eye level/POV shots. The POV shots through the cage show us what
its like to be trapped like the chimps. The eye
level shot simply gives us a clearer view of the
characters looking through the window.
