12 Years a Slave Film Analysis - Maryam

Another heart-felt movie I watched for the second time was 12 years a slave. This film is about a young black man who gets married  and 'is born free'. However once his freedom is stolen from him he becomes a young black man fighting for his life and his freedom back. This film was written by Mr. John Ridley.
Disregarding slavery,the use of mise-en-scene is very significant as it is shown very clearly in the film what time period that it is set in. Also the scars that are shown in the film are very realistic and emphasise pain and discomfort to the audience. Foley sound is also used quite a lot in the film to emphasise the slaves whilst walking long distances,seeing as they are itinerant workers as well as slaves. Overall, i would most definitely recommend this film.
