This picture is from, The Wizard of Oz, and it shows an
objective shot where the camera sees the object, which the audience sees too.
Another shot is the high-key lighting where there's brightness when the Wicked
Witch strikes when trying to touch the shoes. This picture is
interesting to me because the Wicked Witch of the West is trying to take the
ruby red slippers away from Dorothy. The power of the shoes strikes the Wicked
Witch and she gets upset that Dorothy has defeated her in that moment. She
wants to have the authority/power to take over Dorothy and the rest of Munchkin
Land.

Such a great post. You describe the shot, and the use of lighting, very well. You reflect on the symbolism of these film elements. Mimi
