  1. Sione’s Wedding revision

  2. Characters – how could we describe them? • Michael – a ‘player’, outgoing, cocky, charming, immature, disloyal • Sefa– immature, party-goer, drinks a lot, irresponsible • Stanley – childish, intuitive, he seems stupid, ‘weird’, daydreamer, • Albert – shy, seems mature, ‘mama’s boy’, not confident, responsible, hard-working, innocent • Tania – nerdy, organised, friendly, accommodating, passive • Princess – femme fatale, temptress, ‘easy’ • Leilani– authoritative, traditional, forgiving, long-suffering

  3. Ideas and film techniques? • Friendship – “If you sh*t on one friend, you sh*t on all your friends”. Shots – all boys are together in mid or long shots. Mid-shot/close-up of handshake. Music – up-beat music in bars • Importance of culture – when priest talks to boys, we see him with low angle shot so he appears bigger and more dominant, he is framed by two people. Boys are seen with a high angle so they seem small – they have no status.

  4. conflicts • Leilani and Sefa – • Albert and Michael -

  5. Growing up – “When are you gonna grow up, Sefa? Be a real man?” “You boys are so useless!” (Tania) Lighting – begins bright, as they are challenged the light is gloomier. Mirror scene – shots held for a long time and the light is dimmer as we see they are changing. • Love and relationships – Sefa and Leilani – golden light, soft romantic music in background – we can see they love each other. As they separate – sad music, gloomier lighting.
