Battle Royale 2

This is a Japanese action film what is the sequel to the 2001 film Battle Royale. It has the themes of Family, Terrorism and War. This follows another unlucky class who are forced into the Battle Royale Act 2. This class are sent to an island were a known terrorist group called the Wild Seven are located who are survivors of previous Battle Royales. One of the members of this class is Shorio Kitano who is the daughter of Kitano from the previous film who was killed by the leader of the Wild Seven Nanahara. For this is I shall be looking at the editing and the cinematography.

Throughout the film shaky camera's are used. This would be to show the chaos that the students would of have been going through. Also there are many different effects used on there such as near the end when characters run up the light of the sun covers them creating a sense of unknowing meaning that the audience is wondering what had happened to them.

In another section where they run into a building and are overwhelmed low angle shots are used so that the audience can see there point of view and that they are being oppressed by the others. At the same time their necklaces start to beep meaning that they're close to die if the large amount of beeping noises didn't increase the tension enough the quick editing showing the the scared faces. All of this is telling the audience that everyone is panicking.
