      In the extract from Agent Carter, the technical elements come together to shed light on women inequality. After recently losing her husband, Peggy Carter starts her new job as an agent, where she is the only female.

Carter answers to her boss, Agent Flynn, who has been giving her loads of desk tasks.      Agent Flynn receives a phone call and it is depicted through an extreme-closeup , of him answering it.

       I chose to do the film Wakanda Forever (2022), produced by Kevin Feige and Nate Moore,  which is the sequel of the movie Black Panther (2018). This is an action packed, sci-fi film portraying life in Wakanda, as everyone deals with their king passing.

The movements, angles, and shots help depict what the characters are feeling and add to the emotion the audience may feel.  This scene portrays Shuri and Okoye showing up to Riri's dorm to pick her up, so they can head to Wakanda. As the dialogue began between the characters, Riri shows resistance and in (0:05-0:06), there is a close up scene that is zoomed into her picking up an object to defend herself from these intruders, at her place. This shot was filmed with a hand-cam so that it gives a sense of alertness and anticipation about what is going to happen next and how anx...
