Alignment is the different ways that a film maker can align us or manipulate our emotional response.
Alignment is the process of identification with something or someone. Have to look at the film though the characters eyes.
The emotional impact of film frequently depends on spectator alignment with central characters.
Cinematography - A CU positions the spectatorship closer to the character
Sound - Certain sounds music are used to highlight and guide our responses
Themes and content - Depending on the subject matter of the film we can be easily manipulated if the issues portrayed resonate within us on a personal level.
Women in war. we dont generally think at a girl will kill at war, she looks very scared, with her facil expressions, you could also see as well that she looks like a young school girl, with plaits in her hair.
We are positioned here with fear and feeling scared.
When looking at the character we can align with him as he feels sorry for killing the young girl. but war is war and if they aren't on your side they die. we are positioned with the fact that he has just killed a girl.
Looking at the young girls face we are shown fear and pain. We are menat to feel upset, that a young girl has died. We always think that men killing women is bad.
We are positioned with him very upset and regretted what he has done.
We are positioned with him feeling proud of himself, that he killed someone.
My own emotional response very angry
We are mainly positioned with a man killing a girl.
