ansion, the camera seems to shift and hit every angle of the house. This camera shifting puts major emphasis on the size of the house, and the amount of wealth that Miss Dinsmoor and Estella really have. This switch of the camera angles also put an emphasis on how small Finn is in the mansion. You can see during this scene that as Finn looks around, the camera makes him look as if he is so much smaller than the home. By using the strategy of warping the proportions of Finn in the house, it almost seems as if he is out of his element. He has never experienced such a materialistic environment and such an embodiment of wealth. By panning around the set it gives the illusion that he was less than them and not worthy of being in their home. The angles also shift the lighting throughout the house and gives the house a mysterious vibe. I think that the mysteriousness is very underlying, and not many would take the camera angle shift for that theme, but I think that Estella actually has a lot hidden characteristics in herself. She is a pretty mysterious character herself, so this scenic element adds to the foreshadowing of her character development.

The third cinematic element that includes an underlying rhetorical meaning is the element of dialogue. Throughout this scene, you can hear Estella bragging about her home and the expensive qualities and decorations in her home.  She talks about the interior decorative details from foreign places and how exquisite everything in her home was. She also begins to talk to him in French and obviously Finn is not as culturally inclined to understand French. She also brings up the fact that she has a gardener working at her house doing all of the outdoor work. Finn comes from a family where they do not have money to just waste on a gardener. This shows how she talks without regard to others, and she doesn’t take into account the fact that Finn probably does not understand what she is saying, nor can he relate to things like having people working in the home. She is in her own little privileged world, and does not understand that not everyone is as privileged as she is. Estella also talks to Finn as if she is talking down to him. She does not talk to him with the same regard that she might regard other wealthy individuals with.
The last, and most important, cinematic element that was prevalent through
