Out of the blue

Out of the blue is a New Zealand film which is  based on the true story of David Gray. The madman who shot' burned and murdered 13 innocent civilians in cold blood in a small South Island town just south of Dunedin.
The director uses an abundance of techniques to accurately portray the character David Gray as "evil" he does this by directing dark lighting through a lot of his body shots. What this does is sub-consciously awaken the racism within some viewers making them despise him because of the colour of his clothing as he wears fully black clothing to hide himself from police as well as black paint all over his face and the dark lighting due to the nature of night. By doing this the director has sub-consciously made the viewers view David Gray as a dark skinned person which makes him despise him more for his murderous actions. This scene occurs when he is hiding from the police in the house and has close ups and mid shots to perhaps awaken fear in the viewers and also for them to see him as a true nutter and not pure evil as he wipes the darkness off his face in fear which brings slight relief as he appears less threatening to some views as he appears white. Racism rules the roost in this movie.
