dinner table scene captain fantastic
cinematography: shot so that the spectator can see from Ben's perspective. Handheld camera and shallow depth of field to pick out individual characters.
Muted colour palette reflects the staid atmosphere of the scene.
Ben sits at the end of the table in a place of authority. He has dominion over the situation.
Comparative shots, between the two lifestyles with the cutaways to gage the reactions of the uncle and aunt. Lots of closeups and use of shallow depth of field. We align with the cash family.
Costume differences between the families.
Setting: characters being anomalous within the suburban setting.
Proxemics within the frame
At this point in the film we are aligned as a spectator with ben who is against the heart of US ideology. It attacks the education system in america.
Dissident film: a person who opposes official policy, especially that of an authoritarian state.
The setting places a complete outsider into a literal representation of US ideology. The handheld camera increases the discomfort that the spectator is feeling so that we know there is some sort of danger brewing.
Ben is very blunt and direct which highlights what he is saying is true and he has no facade. The stammering that Harper and Dave have whilst being challenged highlights that they are not used to being so direct or giving truthful answers about things. This highlights the false nature of the middle class american society.
Camera pans to encompass the reaction of Harper, she is embarrassed.
The characters of the children are so partial to the father that it influences the spectator to align with the character of Ben.
Over the shoulder shots from Ben's perspective to Harper.
Shot reverse shot when Ben apologise.
The spectator goes from complete alignment with Ben to sympathising with Harper's perspective.
