War film - The Boy In the Stripped Pyjamas. finishes aprox 3.50 of these clip...


In this title sequence of the war film, 'The Boy in The Stripped Pyjamas', it begins with a red background, with some of the actors/actresses names coming up. This red background then turns into a Nazi symbol which connotes the idea of it being a war film. Then the shot changes to children playing outside, but then in the reflection of the puddle in which the little boy steps in, there is the Nazi symbol, this may connote to the audience that the area in which these people are in, are on the side of the Nazi Party. The setting starts outside on the street, then into a house, which is firstly shown with maids laying dinner sets out, maybe connoting that these people are rich. The the clip turns to people being pushed and shoved into army vans; which shows they are being forced out of that area, then the clip goes back to the house and people being happy. This shows that these people are leaving in an area which comes across from the opening titles as being quite restrained in the area.
