Watchmen - Rorschach's rather graphic scene!

I recently re-watched the film ' Watchmen ' and found a particular scene I really enjoyed, and it also conformed to the convention of a thriller quite nicely! 




The scene is called "Dogs get put down." this scene is quite graphic but, this does add to its tense effect. The lighting is low throughout the scene, giving a veil of mystery. A red herring is also used in the form of shadow, and the camera angle gives a sense of voyeurism.  I personally love this scene, and even when i re-watch it it gets my heart going!

  1. Please develop your answers fully, Jordan.

    1) Make your point about the scene. Use technical language to describe it.
    2) Reference the scene.
    3) Explain the effect upon the viewer.
    4) Link it to a larger idea (representation, morals, etc).
