Exam question: Compare the attributes to poverty conveyed in the films you have studied for this topic [35]

The scene I will be talking about is after Said, Vinz and Hubert have just been told to get off the roof. They then go to sit in the park that is in the projects, this playground is lower than the street, like a bear pit/ enclosure. This scene shows that they don't leave to get stuff done or get decent jobs. They just hang around the projects talking to each other, wasting time.

The scene I will be analysing is where the B.F.G. kidnaps Sophie. Jaws (1975) I have chosen these films to talk about the relationship between Steven Spielberg and John Williams when creating the music for scenes in these films. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rejected films Indiana Jones Schindler's List Jurassic park
