In our film, Misfortune of Death, Cinco, Franco, and Leon filmed the character Paul looking up in the sky, after the wounded soldier he tried to help passed away in a trench during a war. They used cinematic techniques such as a high angle and tilt from the character Paul’s point of view to show that war can take away people’s souls, therefore leaving them weak and vulnerable. Their usage of the high angle focuses on the soldier being a weak, powerless, and defenseless person that was consumed by the war. The tilt, on the other hand, was implemented to display details that reveal the concept of the soldier character being helpless, while also showing the plot, which in this case would be the character Paul looking from the body up to the sky.
