English Unpacking Themes and Ideas - Rojan

Tolerance - Tolerance means the ability to put up with others beliefs, attitudes & culture, even when you don't agree/it's different from your own. 

Overcoming adversity -  Pushing through something difficult or dangerous. 

Deep focus - everything in the image is sharp and clear

- Close up shots

- Costume - hat - a symbol of hiding, - Off shows feels safe, on wants hide, not be seen. 

Shallow Focus - focuses us on part of an image and blurs the rest - tells the viewer where their attention is needed 

In the Holocaust scene, the shallow focus is used to show the theme of tolerance. For instants, we see a picture being passed around the room until it reaches it through Jamal. The picture is a stereotype of an African American with big lips and has Jamal names on it. As he receives it, Jamal put his hat back on and shrinks into his chair. The shallow focus is used to bring our attention to the picture and its effect on Jamal. This makes us understand that the picture was used to bullet and embarrass Jamal. This director did this to help us empathise with the character and gain insight into their lives. Coinciding with this is the user is the use of customer -in this case Jamal hats. When Jamal puts the hats on, he wants to hide away and not be seen by the class. This scene introduces the viewer to the theme of the 2tolerance because we can see the currently the students do not respects each others culture, beliefs or identities. This makes students like Jamal feel unsafe in class.
