8.in this shot there is an confrontation with the teacher and the student and from the facial expression you see that he got more of the authority. so the teachers cannot stand up to the students so the students can do what they want so if they don't class nothing much will happen to them so they are losing out on their education.

3.this shot is a shot of three shot classes having vodka being poured into it but instead of the drink increasing we reversed it on Adobe After Effects so the drinks gets less as more is being poured out.we also made it black and white to give it more of an effect. the effect on the audience is that it gives off an enigma so the audience don't know what is happening. this draws the audience more in to watch the film and see how everything ties up.
4.in this shot you have a CCTV of terry walking which depicts where ever you go you are being watched and that the area that Terry is in is a bad area because police are monitoring it with the CCTV cameras. it effects the audience because they begin to think that something is going to happen because terry is being watched, like he is going to caught in a trap.
