Analysis
After taking various screenshots throughout the film, this particular image stuck out to me the most. In the front layer, Suzy and Sam are practically naked with their arms around one another wearing white clothing. In the next layer, Suzy’s father, Walt Bishop, appears to be the biggest figure on the screen with a yellow tent raised above his head. The half naked bodies of Suzy and Sam, Walt Bishop's large figure, and the tent above Walt's head really yelled out vulnerability to me. Behind Walt on the left is an officer and Suzy’s mother, both standing stern. Furthermore, on the right of Walt are four people dressed in all khaki and three shirtless boys sitting in a boat. Behind all of the characters and main action in this particular scene sits a boat in the middle of a cove that is surrounded by green hills and rocky cliffs. The image seems to have a strong contrast between the colors white and yellow. All eyes are on the half-naked, vulnerable, and guilty runaways.
