"Robocop" Mise-en-Scene

I will be analyzing every detail of this scene from the movie Robocop 1987. I decide to take this scene because for me represents the whole point of the movie. Let’s start by using the Rule of Third, if we divide the scene in three columns and three rows, we can see that what occupied the whole scene is the robot. The bottom of the robot occupied all the right side and his shadow is divided between the left side and the center of the scene which make pretty clear that the main character is the robot.  Now from the camera point of view we have the robot and his shadow that make him look bigger than how he actually is and the background people more smaller. This make him look powerful and threatening over the citizens. But let’s not forget he is threatening only for the bad people. If we watch the whole scene we can see his purpose in that city. For me this scene represent everything, we have the sign in an abandoned alley which say “Delta City, The future has a silver lining” with a futuristic city. Which could mean the city is experimenting with technology to have control of everything. The big robot represent advance in technology and power to make things right in the city and defend the innocent over the criminals that are attacking the women.I think the lighting is really great because emphasizes what is important in that scene the robot, the people and the sign.Even though there is a little action in the background what take our attention is how they make the robot look like the most big and powerful invention.
