SAMEBLOD (2017) - En visuell analys

Abstract

This thesis will examine how the oppression of the ethnic minority group saami visualizes in the movie Sami Blood (2017) and how the pictures in it transmit meaning. By using the method semiotic picture analyzis together with various cinema techniques like mise-en-scéne, cinemaography and cinema editing, have I examined the film-makers use of those techniques and what they signify. With question formulations asking what the picture represents, what emotions they signify and how the picture relates to the dialogue, this thesis are highly based on interpretation. The conclusion presented shows how oppression is produced by facial expressions, body language, different angels and colour and how the spectator gets positioned by them. The pictures signifies meaning by visualizing racial and culturally coded events through staging and therefore direct the spectator to experience certain emotions.
