Learner Response : Darth Vadar vs Luke Skywalker scene

                   DARTH VADAR VS LUKE SKYWALKER

Mise-en-scene -

The lighting in these scene is quite shadowy and dark especially during the fight between Darth Vadar and Luke Skywalker. A good example of where this was shown is when Vadar is standing is the shadow's whereas Luke is clearly visible. This makes Vadar seem threatening and mysterious while Luke may appears more vulnerable to the audiences eye. The contrast between light and dark creates tension and makes the scene feel more dramatic. 

Camera shots and Camera Angles -

One camera shot being used is a close-up to Luke's face. This makes us focus on his emotions and allows the audience to see his fear and determination during his battle. Another example of a camera shot is a long shot showing both Luke and Vadar fighting with their lightsabers. This allows the audience to see the action clearly and understand how the characters move around throughout the setting. It makes the duel feel larger and more exciting 

A low angle shot is often used when showing Darth vadar. The camera looks up at him, making him appear powerful and dominant. This suggests that vadar is in control and is a serious threat to Luke Skywalker. It also makes the audience feel smaller in comparison to him, increasing the sense of danger. 

Sound Effects - 

Sound effects play a big role in this scene. The most obvious example is when the lightsabers clashes and Vadar's breathing heavily. These sounds makes their battle feel more intense and realistic. Vadar's beathing is effective because it constantly reminds the audience of his presence and makes him seem intimidating. 

Silence - 

Silence is used before some of the major moment in the duel. This creates suspense and makes the scene feel tense. When the action starts again, it has a bigger impact on the audience
