V for Vendetta

V for Vendetta notes

(Planning from my google docs)

-The power of ideas

Symbolicly, the idea of dominoes

-Ideas are bulletproof and can be used to rebuild society

-Terrorism

V appears as the terrorist when in fact the terrorist is the government’

-Terrorists are driven by their religion

Symbols

Each domino is a phase of V’s plan, the falling of the dominoes represent the falling of order in society, this is shown by clips of riots happening in the UK.

Dialog is very effective, used with the montage to make the monumental moment have emotional effect on the viewer  

Diegetic and nondiegetic sound

Guy fawkes hung

V coming out in fire and hate/rage, Evey coming out in water/rain and gratitude/laughter/relief

Gordon getting black bagged and Evee’s mum getting black bagged, both from Evey’s POV which is under the bed

V’s symbol is similar the the symbol of Anarchy if flipped upside down

Mise En Scene

 

3.9 EXPECTATIONS

Structure:

Intro

Body paragraph 1- Domino scene analysis

Body Paragraph 2- Fight scene analysis

Conclusion

Remember to:

-Utilise the SEXY essay structure

-Drive your analysis by referring to ‘must address’ bits

-Use academic terminology

-Refer to the scene and how it affects the entirety of the film

Content:

Both body paragraphs need to have the SAME directors intention (not one per paragraph). Remember this intention is presented throughout the entirety of the film and particularly evident in these two scenes.

You must address:

-Two cinematography techniques (and give examples of these) and how they work together to…

Create an effect for the audience

Present the directors intention

Position the viewer

Cause the viewer to reflect on social issues
