In the terrible time of 1948 till 1994 Apartheid spread around South Africa causing more than 170 black Africans to be beaten or hung to their deaths. In 1992 John Avildson directed the movie The Power Of One written about the horrible time of Aparthied, In the scene where the director uses a tracking shot to show us Gideon and Pk going for a run, we hear them talking about how cruel there Government is. In this scene we see the two running through and around Alexandra therefore showing us how badly treated they are. In this scene Avildson used many film techniques such as Tracking shots, Non diegetic sounds, Long shots and also dialogs.
One thing that I am proud of is that i tried my hardest to do as much as I could, even though I didnt finish it or write much. For our next essay that we get assigned i am going to make sure that set my mind to finishing it and not just leaving it half done like I did for the power of one. One thing I enjoyed about learning this film was I got to understand what all the black africans were going through during Apartheid. One thing I found chellanging about learning this film was trying to understand what they went through and having to figure out every little detail. One thing I learned that I will use next time in my essay is to use seal, sexxy and tako paragraphs, I will aslo drag out my sentances so it looks like ive written more. something I am wondering is what subjects I am going to take next year.
