Positioning Snatched VS. Existing film

Snatched VS. Prom Night

This is an example where we have challenged conventions. The antagonist is usually central and in the foreground. ‘However’ we have positioned our antagonist in the background, we decided to do this as it allowed us to establish the protagonist more thoroughly as well as establishing the storyline. We still ensured the antagonist was in shot as this also created tension for the audience.
