analysis of dog soldiers

1. The lighting in dog soldiers is very dim, this is to represent and show the rustic feel of the house. The rustic setting ads to the atmosphere of the situation that the soldiers find themselves in.

The costumes of the soldiers of dirty, torn and ripped. This shows that they are deeply involved in the situation and that they have already been fighting off the wolves.

There is also a vast array of weapons, this makes the situation they are in more dramatic, especially when they are all involved in the fighting and you can hear different sound effects for each weapon.

2. Iconography is used especially with the guns and the ammunition. These are vital for the soldiers to survive and be able to keep fight off the ware wolves. Also the silver knife is used to kill the last ware wolf.

3. Throughout the film it is all pretty much disequilibrium as they are constantly on their toes fighting off the threat of the ware wolves. There is a small bit of equilibrium at the end.

4. The gender represented in Dog soldiers is all male. With little female elements. Although the one female element is key. The one female that is in dog soldiers is trusted through out the film. This is because she is seen as inocent ands a trusted bystander.

5.Dog soldiers shows that the armed forces are tough and are very good at survving
