In the first part of this scene it starts of with a slow pan shot, to introduce the teacher communicating with the students. the camera demonstrated a pan shot, to show that the teacher is illustrating a point towards the students as they have done something wrong. A medium shot is then placed and positioned on the teacher. the misc - en - scene shows that this scene is shot in a school environment due to the fact that there is a half board placed behind the teacher and you can see 2 of the students in the shot.
After this, in the same scene the camera demonstrates a back and forth going on between the teacher and a student. During the conversation between one of the students and the teacher, the camera is capturing small shots in different positions of other students, envisioning their emotions and feelings towards their conversation. This is effective as the camera is managing to capture everyone at once, to demonstrates weather they agree with the student or with the teacher in their argument. A close up shot is then used when the student makes a valid point. this improves the drama in the classroom towards their audience as the can feel that reality hit the teacher. An over the shoulder shot is also used to exhibit direct dress. This means that the teacher is only talking to that one student at that time and no one else.
In addition to the conflict between the teacher and the student, another student joins in and swears. His expressions are shown through a side view shot, to examine that his comment came out of nowhere and that he feels to make his point come out. Whilst the other student is talking, the camera is shot through an over the shoulder shot of the student, to illustrate that its direct dress and that he is talking to her as he dislikes her for being a certain colour. During this part of the scene the camera takes a shot at every student who is gonna be involved in the conflict.
The student who first started the conflict, says something in return, however the camera shot this part of the scene behind the teacher to demonstrate that she was saying something under her breath which really downgraded the teacher. The camera shot, shows all of the students agreeing to the student and teacher conflict. This shows that the camera wanted to capture every individuals attitude and feelings.
Towards the middle of this scene, the camera manages to capture her true emotions as she stats to get teary. This finalises the impression that she cares about what she's saying and that she is describing how she's living in a war between races.
in this next shot, a new student interfere in the conflict and starts a new argument with the teacher. This shot is shown from where the teacher is standing, but slightly down. this shows that the teacher feel he is lower down in the hierarchy than her not just because he's a student and she's a teacher, but because of their colour (race). In this scene, the sound is completely quite, whilst the conflictive argument is going on.
Towards the end of this scene a slow pan shot is done across the entire classroom but the camera never looses focus of the teacher. This proves that the teacher is making a valid point, to try and stop this conflict between different races.
The final misc - en - scene in this scene, shows the entire classroom, and every student. the camera captured the moment when everyone was feeling guilty about what they said, as the teacher proved them wrong. Finally in addition to this , the camera captured multiple shots of different students in the class who got involved in this conflict. This shows their true emotions, and makes the viewer feel empathy for every character in the classroom as they're living a war.
