The time of Apartheid was when black people got treated like slaves and that they were
treated differently to white people. The film The Power Of One, directed by John Avildsen,
we see in this scene how P.K will still young and how he got treated at school when he was taken away from his family.  The following techniques are used in this scene: Close-up shot,
Low-key Lighting and Diegetic. The film Technique helped this important idea and also created the scene to have a strong impact on the audience.

In The Power Of One, director John Avildsen used a Close-up shot, For instance, the director,
John Avildsen, Used a close-up shot to show the anger in the face of Jaapie Botha.
The director did this to show us that Jaapie Botha is a bully and he has more power over
Geel Piet. This makes the audience feel Bad for P.K because of the action that P.K did to
Jaapie Botha. Now P.K is gonna get payback for what he did. This reminds me of the scene where Geel Piet was getting abused by Sergeant Bormann and It also made us feel the same way.

In the scene where Jaapie Botha hits P.K, we see the aspect of a low-key lighting. For instance,
the director, John Avildsen, Used a Low-key lighting to show us that the scene is in a dark room.
The Director did this to show us that the room was dark and to show us the anger in
Jaapie Botha face. This makes the audience feel sad because P.K is hanging from the roof and the look in Jaapie Botha face is not a good sign. This reminds of the scene Where Jaapie Botha was demanding and hitting the black person because he didn’t know where P.K was.

The director of The Power of One, John Avildsen, uses a diegetic sound.
For example, John Avildsen, Used a diegetic sound when Jaapie Botha was getting a tattoo.
The director did this to show us that there is music used in the background that the Hitler gang listens to. This technique created impact by helping me see that Jaapie is getting a tattoo and showing the support for Hitler and is also feeling powerful.

This scene reminds me of when P.K got told his mum has passed away and in that scene,

they used the same techniques by using Low key Lighting.

In conclusion, It shows us in the movie The Power Of One how black people got treated by getting abused and getting forced to do stuff. A scene that shows us that, is how P.K will still
young and how he got treated at school when he was taken away
from his family. The following techniques are used in this scene:diegetic sound, Close up-shot, and Low key lighting.
The film Technique shows a strong significant impact on the
audience to see how Afrikaners were treated during Apartheid.
