Deutschland 83


 The director of Deutschland 83 highlights the impact of the divide between the East and West through the camera shots on each individual character.

The main character who is the spy is scared because he has never experienced life on the other side. The director understands this and emphasises the fear in the spy's eye and directs the camera towards this to draw out the emotion within the scene. The director uses close shots on faces to show emotion as to what is happening around them. For much calmer scenes or scenes of landscape the director uses long shots to set the scene for what is about to happen.

To then set the mood, the director makes the scene kind of dark and mysterious to show the uncertainty for the spy in enemy territory. This is also used when the bad guys enter the scene, however it changes to a brighter scene when the good guys enter. This shows the theme of Good vs Evil.
