This is an animated comedy. It has fantasy, love and family themes. It is the sequel to the film Shrek this mainly will follow the title character who has gone with his wife to get his father in laws blessing. However he doesn't want him to be married to his daughter and tries to kill him while Shrek is trying to maintain his brand new marriage. For this is I shall be looking at editing and cinematography.
In one section Shrek and his friends go into the potion factory They go into one room and we have a low angle shot. The purpose of this is to emphasise the meaning behind how many potions there are and how large of a challenge it shall be. In later in the scene there is a high angle shot with Shrek in the light alone. This could be showing that he is being judged for what he is doing by a higher power such as God.
In another scene earlier in the film the king, queen Fiona and Shrek are having dinner. As the scene progresses the emotional limit keeps on increasing. At one point the camera turns into a bird's eye view what is turning, this is meant to be representing a mexican stand off between the king and Shrek. As the emotions run wild the editing shots change more and faster this is to show how out of control the dinner is going at that point.
