5)
Why do you believe the director chose to create this image in this way? What is
the image’s purpose in this scene, and in the larger story? What else do you
notice (for example: performance, sound, editing, etc.)? I think it gives the
audience a bigger picture view on what is going on. It seems more obvious that
Steve is building to something and it affected the entire family deeply.

Why do you believe the director chose to create this image in this way? What is
the image’s purpose in this scene, and in the larger story? What else do you
notice (for example: performance, sound, editing, etc.)? We see a more somber

something important is about to come up in the conversation.

the image’s purpose in this scene, and in the larger story? What else do you

Why do you believe the director chose to create this image in this way? What is
the image’s purpose in this scene, and in the larger story? What else do you
notice (for example: performance, sound, editing, etc.)? This is now the
boiling point for Kieren, everything gets us really close to him as he reaches
this point. I think it helps emphasize that Kieren is tired of his family not
communicating.

Describe the use of lighting: More side lighting. Different color temperatures
on both sides. Daylight to the right, Tungsten to the left.
4)
Describe the use of the visual elements — specifically, Space, Line, Shape,
Tone, Color, Movement, Rhythm: Lots of verticle lines, especially with Kieren,
and his father. It’s a very square heavy image. Kieren seems a lot bigger than
his father, he seems further away. They don’t overlap.
5)
Why do you believe the director chose to create this image in this way? What is
the image’s purpose in this scene, and in the larger story? What else do you
notice (for example: performance, sound, editing, etc.)? The cut to this frame
is a bit jarring. It emphasizes a huge change and breaking point for Steve. Now
he can really speak his mind. I think this frame makes the most effective
emotional shift even stronger by changing a lot of cinematic elements.

5)
Why do you believe the director chose to create this image in this way? What is
the image’s purpose in this scene, and in the larger story? What else do you
notice (for example: performance, sound, editing, etc.)? I think this image
allows the audience, like a lot of the frames in this sequence, to just watch
the interaction between the two characters. It isn’t striking as far as
lighting or anything goes. It seems like it’s so careful not to draw your eye
away from Kieren.

Why do you believe the director chose to create this image in this way? What is
the image’s purpose in this scene, and in the larger story? What else do you
notice (for example: performance, sound, editing, etc.)? Again, the image
really forces you to just look at Steve, I think this is especially important
because he is addressing something that he thinks made him a failure as a
father. We see more emotion from Steve from now on than we have seen in the
entire series so far.

Why do you believe the director chose to create this image in this way? What is
the image’s purpose in this scene, and in the larger story? What else do you
notice (for example: performance, sound, editing, etc.)? This shows that Kieren
really is listening. Maybe Kieren didn’t realize the impact his decisions would
have on his family and the edit shows us that horrible feeling of guilt when he
realized how bad her hurt them.

the image’s purpose in this scene, and in the larger story? What else do you
notice (for example: performance, sound, editing, etc.)? The dialog indicates
that Steve gave Kieren the weapon he used to kill himself. To me this means
that Steve has held on to this insane guilt that he killed his son. His
performance seems to reflect that.

Why do you believe the director chose to create this image in this way? What is
the image’s purpose in this scene, and in the larger story? What else do you

Why do you believe the director chose to create this image in this way? What is
the image’s purpose in this scene, and in the larger story? What else do you
notice (for example: performance, sound, editing, etc.)? Everyone in the family
gets a moment to sort of express themselves in this scene and I think that is
so important. I think Jem now is allowing the audience to see how she has
changed, and how she wants to be different.

Why do you believe the director chose to create this image in this way? What is
the image’s purpose in this scene, and in the larger story? What else do you
notice (for example: performance, sound, editing, etc.)? Probably the most
interesting cut of the entire scene. I think maybe it’s to allow Kieren to
almost see his father carrying him. It gives Kieren a much greater perspective

perspective of Kieren seeing what his father did for him, and the sacrifice he

Kieren is about to break the barrier of the frame.

in framing as the entire thing flips sides. Also the smooth dolly and addition

a huge and important change.
