introduction to Textual analysis

I have chosen Alfonso Cauron’s 2006 dystopian science fiction thriller, Children of Men for my textual analysis. The film is set in the near future in which the world is suffering a global infertility crisis, The film centres around the miracle pregnancy of a women and her transport to safety. I have chosen the section of the film between 1:19:52 – 1:24:52 which is during the climax of the film. In this scene, The protagonist Theo, young mother Kee and her baby attempt to navigate their way through the uprising refugee camp. To analyse this section, I am focusing on mise-en-scene (including the use of set design and costume ) ,cinematography, and representation (specifically on immigration).The context examined focusses on the social and political factors connected to the film around the time of its production.
