Wasp

Written and Directed by Andrea Arnold, Wasp tells a story of a struggling mother that will not let her children get in the way of seeing an ex-boyfriend. It is extremely emotive, it captures the viewers interesting from the moment it begins, this is because we view the film from a fly on the walls experience. As you can see from this extract, the camera is very slow and intimate, using the extreme close ups to express facial expressions and feelings. The shots are extremely voyeuristic which makes the viewer feel that it shouldn't be viewing such film. When you watch the film you see that her parenting get worse, however within this scene you can see that she has a split decision about going out, because she doesn't know what to do with her children.
