Misfits Deconstruction

These pictures depicte a rape scene in Misfits. The girl is in and out of conciousness so they use a fade in and out of black and it being blurry enhances the fact she isn't aware of what's going on or able to stop it.

Camera Angles.
1.This print screen shows a close up which is also point of view of the rapist. This adds an effect, that we are part of this inappropriate behavior. it is also a low angle as though he is inferior to the woman.
2.This shows a point of view shot, as though we the audience are the rapists victim. It is also a mid shot, so is rather intense especially as you only see the rapists arms.
3.This is an extreme close up of the rapist, he is looking straight at the woman and as we are looking at him it's as though we are intruding on what he is doing. It also again seems intense.

Sound.
Throughout the scene there is a non diegetic beat, which is slow and eery playing parallel to what is being shown on screen. It gets louder when she is awake and quieter when the woman goes unconscious which enhances the situation.

Mise en scene.
The dress she is wearing is gold which has connotations of wealth and optimism which is contrasting as she is being raped. The fact the dress is bright and sparkly and the background a dark they contrast each other.
The man is shown with half his face shadowed which could be inferred that half of him has a dark side, which is evident in this scene.
