BETWEEN TWO WORLDS






REVIEWER:Enoh Abigail
PRODUCER: Ifeanyi Anagor
DIRECTOR: Moses Inwang
WRITER: Gino
GENRE: Tragedy, this is so because it ended in a sad way there was bloodshed, murder and betrayal.
PLOT: Scene one opened with Marisia (Uche Jumbo) running as a result of two men pursuing her and when she got to the end of the road, they attempted raping her because of what her fiancé did to one of the gangster’s girlfriend. They were still struggling when a saviour Mark (Kalu Ikeagwu) showed up and rescued her.
He immediately fell in love with her and the next week he saw her and she introduced him to her fiancé Elvis. (Jim Iyke) and immediately recognised him as a very popular guy in the night clubs who sleeps with everything in skirts.
He was angry and decided to tell since he loved her and did not want anything to hurt her. He confided in his friend and he told him to do just that.
She finally caught her fiancé in bed with two prostitutes and decided to run to Mark who on getting to his house started crying and asked him if he truly loves her he should make love to her. He flaunted for a while and decided to get a condom and on his way back he had an accident and died. His spirit returned with the condom but he realised that he was neither felt, seen, or heard.
Shortly after, she decided to go look for him and immediately she saw him she fainted and was rushed to the hospital.
She was in coma and was later assassinated by Elvis who wanted to inherit her father’s wealth
They met in the spirit world and decided to lived together.

THEME: LOVE AND TRUST AND BETRAYAL.
SETTING: Urban setting in the city of Lagos
MAIN CASTS: Uche Jumbo, Jim Iyke, Kalu Ikeagwu, Benedict Johnson
COUNTRY: Nigeria
LANGUAGE: English
SOUND TRACK: The theme song was written by P-square, titled “so sick”.
TITLE SEQUENCE: While the characters where been cast, the music was playing and noticed shadows of the main casts.
CINEMATOGRAPHY: I noticed the use of several shots such as the extreme long shots when a part of Lagos was shown, long shots (LS), medium shots (MS), and close-up shot (CU). But the dominant one was the medium shot. Also the camera placements or angles, I saw the use of mid angle, low angle etc. The dominantly used one was the mid angle because the viewers and the camera were on the same level.
COSTUME: Day to day attires for different activities.
SYMBOLISM: I think the shadows used in the beginning were just to reflect the dream and how humans differ from their looks or shadows.
FINALE:
