Starship Troopers

This first shot could be called a long shot. This shot is establishing our location in relation to the enemy, the alien bugs of the Klendathu System. In this shot, we can see that the Klendathu System is being blown up. This shot mirrors the Pro-US propaganda films of WWII.


In this next shot, we have soldiers handing out bullets to children as if they were candy, to get them interested in joining the ‘Cause’. Notice the captions at the bottom and top of the screen; this is obviously an informational add, and what does that say about the society this is speaking to?


I chose this last shot because of the two different faces of this reaction shot: the first one is obvious, in the background. The second is in the foreground, his reaction is not something I would have expected for the given situation.
