City of God Question

Within the City of God it talks about a number of serious issues, such as social exclusion and poverty,  within the scene of Benny's deaths there is uses of techniques which create a feel of immersion within the scene. With the use of the camera revolving around groups of people which show Benny interacting with different groups, this sets the base for the loss of Benny because it shows how everyone interacts with him. this creates an impact within the scene because it makes the audience feel a greater connection to Benny and therefore when he passes it creates a greater emotional response within the audience. The camera seems to be hand-held and revolving through crowds of people with Benny being flashed around in the middle of them, interacting and blending with the different groups, this relates to the idea of social exclusion but with Benny it creates an cohesive character family and joins them all together. The revolving camera with the flashes of lights and the diegetic music playing creates a blanket of film techniques which suffocates the viewer and fully emerges them into the film. Increasing the empathy felt for the character Benny at the time of his death.
