The Power Of One.

The movie The Power Of One, is a novel by Australia author [Bryce Courtney]. He first published the movie  in 1989 he traveled to south African, set there in the 1930s and 1940s. In the first half of the movie peekay was the narrator, allowing us to know more about his feelings and thoughts in such ways    . During the match between peekay and ------the director was trying to show the intention feeling between them. Give a little idea what is happening in the moment, to test peekay skills, if he really have what it takes to become the rainmaker. In this short scene they used tracking, close up and long shot to see the movement of their body. Every single strength and mana the had in the body.

Paragraph 1

The movie power of one, in the scene when peekay was fighting Gideon Duma. Used 5 shot long shot, established shot, over the shoulder, mid shot, and close up. They was a lot of motion in this scene. These shot was to give the scene more. 

The director used close up to show the expiration of the fighter faces. He also used establishing shot to show the audience. How the crowd in the movie is taking all the initiation between the two fighters.

It was an overwhelming moment for everyone in the building.

This was supposed to give the audience the burning rage inside. He put this scene into the movie show  the audience. If Peekay is really meant for the name the rainmaker. When the elephant appeared this was one of his tests. Not only for the title but to overcome his fears and he is one step closer to achieving it.

At the first half peekay was going to lose the fight. Until he found Gideon Duma weakness turning the fight around and taking it home. Peekay show me that you have to fight for what you believe in. don’t take things like that lightly.

The purpose of this film is to show that if life. Throws you  lemons you gotta make lemonade. But trying to reach your goals even though you don't believe in yourself. You got people backing you up, supporting you. Even though they were taking Gideon Duma side that change. After the fight now they believe that their hero came to change this apartheid once and for all.

Paragraph 2

The director used, Establishing shot. to show the surrounding and giving the audience. A point of view, remind the audience where the scene is taking place and its extremely long shot. Showing his new ally, family and people standing behind him.

This helped me see what else is going on in the background. others from the fighter’s. For my viewpoint. I see people letting go out cheering for the player. Coming together like a family doing what they believe knowing the risk. Peekay and Gideon Duma fight was one inspiring  fight out there. One fighting for own the other cause. His heart think its the right thing to do.

He was trying to give an idea of what is happening at the outside not inside. Sometimes you have to think outside. The box to smash the ground with the win. That is how peekay win the match them not only focusing. On his capability but vulnerability then he took it home.  

This is super effective in this scene because it is telling the audience. The expression of the people on the outside of the ring. All the commotion, confusion, and burning sensation given off from the fighting affected by them.

Establishing shot only got that scene and a bit more. Come to think of it if you thought you saw it all in that one country. Image getting to all the different country. In one screen that is how establishments shot work. It tells a story that not only happening inside but all around us. 

Paragraph 3

Close up shot was one of the directors specialty in the movie [The Power Of One] mostly in that scene there was a collision of combination of shot including the close up. Medium and long shot. Making it more interesting.
Others from close up there were tracking. Following through the opponent movement focus on the main picture. Over the shoulder, showing the reaction of the fighter face and stamina during the fight.
Director was trying to show that how the Africans. Feel physically and mentally you could see on their faces. All the sores and pain that have then done. The English people came and took everything, single right of theirs. They will have to fight only with peekay help, by their side. Gathering entail and knowledge. Giving hope and path to take.
This gives the audience a chance to see things more clearly. Sometimes there's clue that our eyes can't catch, things that are not spotted. So that when the close up comes in a giving a excelling view of the object or person. It tells more about the person expression without actually saying it. [show don’t tell]
Camera shot are just like our eyes establishing shot stand from a top of the hill. Long shot running down to catch the ball. Over the shoulder trying to see what's happening on their phone. Lucky last close up getting really close to. Something or someone to see properly our eyes are unique and everywhere single part of the human body.


Final Paragraph


Conclude all together there was a lot of different emotions that you can't really explain. The technique was flawless because some people felt where the director was coming from. his aspect and idea for the movie that part of the scene. Was the beginning of an up rise for the Africans people. Trying to claim its land, house and all its poverty that really belong to their people.
You know what this movie have told me that action and more convincing than words itself. Fighting for what you stand for being strong for others, giving a helping hand. To different and all kinds of people. Even though they are black, white or mix we are all equal. We are all human beings that have human rights too. Some see them different but it does give. Them right too cause they haven't check themselves in the mirror first before they judge. Things like this are still happening world wide. We need to take a stand and stop the apartheid in different country and becoming worse state from how it is.
