Sexxy Paragraph - Close up shot

In the movie, the power of one, the Director (John Avildson) uses the film aspect of close up - where the camera is zoomed up onto someone or something - in lots of scenes throughout the movie. For example, the close up shot was used in a scene where it shows, Sergeant Borman holding Geel Piet against the wall and he puts pressure onto Geel Piet so he can tell Sergeant what the Black Africans are saying in their songs. The directors purpose of this aspect was so this scene can be very intense with what is happening. Avildson also uses a dark lighting so it shows its happening at night and to also make it more harsh. This scene made the audience feel more scared, worried, and angry because of the way Sergeant Borman was violently pressuring Geel Piet. This scene can be compared to when, PK and Maria get raided by Officer Bothe and the Natzi while they were teaching Gideon Duma and his family and friends.
