Break Free - Ruby Rose
Cinematography
This short film includes a range of different shots and incorporates various camera angles. It starts with a tilt shot from a high angle looking at her shoes in a big-close up. Then it cuts to a close-up shot of a handbag. Together these show an important part the narrative, as they are a symbolism of feminity. The shot cuts to a tilt from a low angle which shows the character's face and shoulders as they cut their hair with a pair of scissors. The way it is angled could show a sense of new-found empowerment as the character takes away the things that makes them appear feminine. The short film ends on a medium close-up of the character, now looking more masculine, showing their face to be happier now than they were at the beginning.
Mise-en-scene
The location of the whole film is a white bathroom in a house, as it shows the character's transition from a woman to a man. They start off wearing a tight fitting dress, with high heeled boots, but by the end they are wearing a blazer, suit shirt, trousers and boots; these are modern stereotypical clothing items for females and males. The only props used were a pair of scissors at the start and a cigarette at the end.
Sound
Over the top of the video is a song where a woman is singing faintly. The singing is accompanied by a piano and occasionally the faint sound of drums can be heard. There is no other sound effects or sound from the actual video, only the music.
