Question

rewrite this:

In the beginning of the movie, a high shot of Emmet lying in his bed, waking up with the alarm clock ringing the background. The next few minutes show him getting ready for the day, included in this scene is a wide shot of Emmet and all his neighbours saying, 'good morning city!', while moving backwards showing the landscape behind them. Emmet’s colour scheme is orange and yellow, already showing his optimism, naivety, sociability and innocence. The shot of the clock ringing 7:00am, is a clever way to show the time. When Emmet says, 'good morning city!' and it goes into a wide shot of the city, the movie is giving you a setting. We now know Emmet is the main character because the movie carefully takes the time to introduce him getting ready and his generic day, in such detail they wouldn’t do with a side character

Answer 1

rewrite this:

The antagonist in this movie is Lord Business. He is a corrupt man who controls everything in the Lego world Thai is manipulative. In the scene where Lord Business interrogates the cop, he is portrayed as a villain quite well. When talking to the him, Lord Business was shown from a low angle, which portrays how powerful he is. The colour scheme for him (black and red) as well as his height (with his suit on) and the added helmet makes him look very powerful. The lighting and music directed towards him is also quite dramatic. When Emmet first sees him on TV, he says 'head of Octan AND ruler of the world' which shows he obviously controls everything. Emmet also mentions how 'Octan makes everything, food, TV, petrol, music, voting machines…….wait.' This shows that Octan doesn't make voting machines, therefore no one can vote so Lord Business stays in power.

Answer 2
