How do film techniques help to develop the audience's understanding of Andy?

Film techniques play a major role in the understanding of Andy's character. Film techniques can change the way the audience portrays the film.

In the movie "Devil Wears Prada" Andy is represented to the audience as a young, hopeful, stubborn women that is looking for a job in journalism. Many people never think of the hours of planning behind achieving the film techniques that makes Andy seem that way. Film techniques help to develop understanding of Andy's character to the audience. For example if Miranda walked into her office and told Andy to get her husband on the phone and the camera angle was eye level it would make Andy and Miranda seem equal, but if the camera angle was tilted up when they filmed Miranda she would seem more powerful and strong. This example shows that Miranda is superior than Andy and this helps the audience to develop their understanding of Andy's character and that is just one example of when film techniques help to develop situations.

Film techniques help to develop the audience's understanding of Andy. Many techniques and tricks are used to control the audiences mood and feelings toward ones character and this is shown through out the movie "Devil Wears Prada".
