Expressive Elements: 

• High contrast, high key, close up of their hands
• Knife – violence 
• Tilts up – see people and people on horses – silhouetted (?)
• Editing of the falling child, long duration shot of them on the ground – no reaction shot 
• Crowd movement , fast paced editing – chaos (tonal montage- feelings)
• Sped up film (like middle) 
• “Sea” of dead bodies 
• Children fighting emphasises the innocence of the people 
• Cross fade to the man behind the event – like he’s devouring the people
• Editing – high cutting rate – he hits them, table shakes, ink spills over where the workers live (violence and blood) – puts his hand on the ink (like blood is on his hand)
• Montage – cow (graphic) and people – symbolism, working class, treated like cattle 
• Pan – shows extent of the devastation
• Breaks 180 degree rule – chaotic 

Visual Representation of Sound: 

• Title cards 
• Expressive performances e.g. the laughing 
• Chaos of the crowd

Extent and Limits of Verisimilitude: 

• Black and white – changes the way we view the film 
• Non-professional actors
• Pessimistic ending – ignites anger – propaganda

Positioning and Address  of the Viewer: 

• Positioned within the crowd
• Looking up at the people on horses
• CU of eyes looking at the camera
• Directly addressed at the end – writing 

Context and Messages: 

• Propaganda- focusing on the time it was made, not the past 
• Only one meaning that cannot be interpreted in a different way  (cow and people symbolism) as it’s a propaganda film (need to get the message right)    

Narrative Devices and Structure: 

• Part of ‘Part 6’
• Pessimistic ending 
• No protagonist – strength together, links in with the propaganda throughout the film (e.g. Lenin quote)
