Movie: The Power of One - Visual and Verbal technique's used in the film

The director John G. Avildsen has made the contrive scenery memorable from the film ?The Power of One? which was set in apartheid snip in Africa by using many visual and verbal techniques such as twinkle, music and dialog that support tout ensemble the suggestions that the scene makes. These techniques make this scene and film memorable.

During the concert scene Peekay conducted a group of non-white African pris sensationrs to sing for the commandant. Peekay was proven to be smart and determined in this scene because he translated the guards lecturing to the prisoners incorrectly to encourage the tribes to unite. The Guard told Peekay to translate ??sorriest prisoners in all of Africa!? but Peekay translate it to ?Let us be one under the African Sky?. The prisoners sang a numbers about the guards ?they run this way, they run that way, they are afraid, they are cowards..? in Zulu. Sergent Boreman cornered Peet and made him tell what the words to the song meant and accordingly beat him to death because he was aggravated about what the prisoners were cantabile. Peekay got to Peet in time for him to say his last words: ?All the tribes as one, thanks to you rainmaker?.

A visual technique which made the concert scene memorable was redness. The dark dim lighting suggested that the conditions of the prison were harsh. An example of this is when Geil Peet is beaten to death by Sergeant Boreman, the lighting was harsh, artificial and spot lighten which made Boreman look evil.



The lighting gives the audience clues about the dark emotions experienced by Geil Peet in this scene.

Another technique used in this film is the music during this scene. There were only two types of music, the piano and the background singing of the African prisoners...
