The Wild One Task


How do you assess these people? Consider costume, face, position, setting

Think about class, background, character, relationship, period in time, genre











first of all i will consider the setting of the back ground of this film being an era of around 1950 america where the culture of rockabilly is on trend judging from the clothing of men. a leather jacket with slick back hair and the women with a shorted curled hair and short sleeves. i would guess that this would be a typical cafe in the united states. the background is blurred implying there is less importance towards the scene, as we can see that there is tension between the two characters in the foreground, the women is looking straight to the eyes of the men signifies confidence with the men striking a pose of the authorities hand on waist and pulling closer the women, she does not look terrified, no fear is shown on her face. Furthermore as she is standing inside the bar i would assume that she would be one of the staffs from the cafe being questioned by the men which from the height we can is slightly higher than the women. The scar on the mens face also shows that he is a violent person. with the gloves on his hands i would assume he is driving a motorcycle, which again supports the rockabilly culture. a tight frame is used to focus on the tension between the two characters enhance the atmosphere of excitement in the scene where something big might happen right after he grabs on to her shirt. to conclude i would guess that this scene is about a the men seeking for justice having to question a civilian about a certain crime which she does not know about. suggesting that this may be the genre of drama.
