Comparing Jordan Peele's Where Are The Keys Scene And The Final Scene

Intro

This year I studied the director Jordan Peele. I chose him because of his interesting way of combining themes to create addictive, easy to watch horror/thriller films. In this report, I will analyse two scenes from Jordan Peele's first directed movie, Get Out, released in 2017. I'm going to focus on the "Where are the keys' scene" and the "Final scene" because they reflect Peele's directing style within this movie. In the following paragraphs, I will compare and contrast the two scenes, highlighting the style and concerns Jordan Peele has as a director.
