SEXXY Paragraph Practice

Brief: In English, we started practicing writing SEXXY paragraphs for our film study. We we're given the scene where K arrives home to based it in our own (practice) paragraph. Below is the one I wrote :)

Movie: Blade Runner 2049

Movie Definition
Replicants - Genetically engineered humans that are not a robot but artificial beings used for slave labour and difficult/dangerous jobs.

Statement: In the scene where K comes home to his apartment, we see the aspect of two shot combined with body language effectively.

Evidence: In this scene, Joi receives an 'emanator' as her anniversary gift from K that lets her move freely. With this gift, she is able to go anywhere without the device she's programmed in(a projector-like in K's apartment that lets her move around). To try this out, both K and Joi stepped outside—on their apartment’s rooftop—finally letting Joi outside and feel the rain. We see the use of these two aspects when K and Joi were captured in the same frame while trying to feel each other’s touch. 

Explanation of director’s purpose: The purpose of this was to depict both Joi and K’s emotional reactions in one shot. In this case, the longing feeling of gratitude they felt for each other. To express this, the director purposely combined this aspect(two shot) with body language where K puts his hand on Joi’s head while she digs her head deep in his neck showing affection. 

Explanation of effect on audience: This helps us understand that Joi was more than an object(AI) to K. She was a person and he treated her as such. This also meant that K was beginning to develop emotions and grow as a character.

Link: These aspects also worked effectively with the use of back-lighting where two silhouettes(K and Joi’s) were created to produce a dramatic effect as they stood in the rain.

As a theme, this is also important because we get to learn that artificial beings(they are considered so in the movie) have learned to love and have affection for each other just as how meaningful human interactions are.
