Lord Farquaad as a villain - HOW?

Technique	Description	How does it create the villain?
Over the shoulder shot	It is over the gingerbread man’s shoulder. We can see Lord Farquaad’s face looking down at him. LF is interrogating the GBM	It makes LF appear bigger than he is, so he looks more powerful. Because of his actions of interrogating the GB and torturing him, this makes him appear as the villain.
Dialogue	LF is asking the GB about where the fairy tale creatures were in a very aggressive manner. “Where are they!?” He also demands to know “Who is hiding them?”	Because he speaks very aggressively and the tone of his voice suggests he needs the answer immediately, he appears to be stronger. He also threatens the crippled GBM and if he doesn’t get his way he is going to pull off his gumdrop buttons. This makes him a villain because he is acting violently which is something a villain in a story usually does.
Music	The music is played as LF walks down the corridor towards the dungeon. It is loud and a low toned with high organ music over the top. There were drums and orchestra playing and choir repeating the same low toned sound like a marching beat.	Music sets a scene. The marching sound makes him appear powerful, it sounds like a big person or army walking along. Traditionally organs are played by antagonists or villains, so when we hear it being played as LF walks towards the dungeon we assume he is the villain. This accompanied by a low angle shot of him walking, makes him appear larger, more frightening and threatening than he is which is common a villain.
Close up	When LF is talking to the GBM we see the camera is close up to his face. On his face we see the expression of anger and smugness as he interrogates him. The GBM is on a baking tray with no legs. LF has just crushed on in his hand.	This creates LF as a villain because it shows that he is in power or has power over the GBM. Accompanied with the lighting which shines from below up on his face, makes him look menacing. Due to what he has earlier done to the GBM he comes across as a villain.
Costume	He wears dark leather gloves, a red hat, a red cape and doublet which is lined with gold.	His costume makes him a villain because the gloves he wears are associated with a torturer. We even see a close up of the gloves as he makes his way to the dungeon. The colour of his clothing and hat suggest he is in a position of power because red is often associated with royalty. Red is also associated with evil and anger so him wearing those clothes makes us think in our minds that he is angry or evil which makes him a villain.
Lighting and Long shot	The lighting is dark in the dungeon as LF enters. The shadow of the GBM is seen on the wall. He is being dunked into a glass of milk (milk torture). On the right of the shot the lighting is very dark and LF is in the shadows grinning.	Because LF is in the shadows his is seen as more mysterious and possibly dangerous character. Dark lighting is associated with evil, danger, fear and mystery. By putting LF in the shadow with the dark light he become all of those things, which makes him appear as the villain.
