Wag the Dog Imagery

Fantastic

Levinson shoots Brean from a low angle, or a "hero" angle after the fake war footage is leaked to the press and has done its job of distracting the nation from the President's scandal. The imagery shows how Brean believes himself to be a hero when he is doing an awful thing to deceive the American people for the popular vote.

Blue Screen

We watch as Tracy runs across a blue screen studio space and in the control room Motss has a town, fire, and screaming added into create the war. The imagery reveals the manufactured nature of this war being created in a film studio.

Globe

We see Motss standing over a globe as he searches Albania and tells of the plan to create the fake war. The imagery creates the sickening feeling that this man is toying with the lives of real people and simply making a war a little game he's playing for fun.

Divided

We see Brean and Winifred divided by Mr. Young's torso and head as he interrogates them for the truth of the fake war. The division created by the imagery shows that though Brean and Winifred are on the same side they are dealing with this issue in completely different ways. Brean flat out denies that the war is fake and Winifred is asking for a lawyer.
