The Power of one

A long shot can be used to introduce the scene. In this scene, we can see an officer with a baton by his side in the foreground while seeing Geel Piet, doc and Pk standing in the doorway as well as some other blacks in the background. The director's purpose of this shot is to show that the guard does not like Geel Piet and the others. This scene has an effect on the audience, it makes them feel sorry and a little scared for Geel Piet. We can link this to another scene in the movie where Sgt, Botha raids the boxing gym and beats up Pk trainer, this scene also makes us feel scared
