SEXXXY Paragraph - 

In the scene with The Other Mother and The Other Wybie, we see high angle shots used to show the theme looks can be deceiving. We see this when The Other Mother asks The Other Wybie to smile but he hunches over and frowns instead. This makes the audience feel sorry for and scared for The Other Wybie because he looks scared and worried himself. The use of a high angle shot from the perspective of The Other Mother adds to the feeling as it makes The Other Wybie look weak and vulnerable. The director did this to portray foreshadow the change of The Other Mother from being perfect to evil. Coinciding with this is the use of lighting. A spotlight is put ver The Other Wybie and emphasizing that he was under the focus and pressure of The Other Mother. This reminds us of earlier in the film where a low angle shot was used to make Wybie seem big and scary but really he was just an ordinary nerd. This links to the scene because it also shows a moment when the look of a character was deceiving.
