- The actor playing Gus is costumed as a bum, in dirty looking clothing. What this is made to make us feel about Gus is that he is a bad guy, a villain.
- The actor playing Flora is costumed in a very nice gown. What this is made to make us feel about her is that she is higher class and a good person.
- The lighting is used to make Gus seem menacing, meaning it is to portray that he is bad.
- The lightening on Flora seem innocent because it is nice and light, kinda brings warmth, opposite of Gus.
- The way that the actor walk when he follows Flora is predator like, stalker, sneaky. You just get the predator vibe from him, not a good feeling.
- The actions of Flora that show us that she is “child-like” are that she seems to be in that child “day dreaming” phase where she is just staring off kind of rocking. She is also easily entertained.
- The difference in the music choice when it comes to Gus and Flora is that: the music goes deep and dark for Gus, but happy and light for Flora.
- In the chase with Ben, Flora’s older brother, the cross-cut demonstrates that she is in danger because it’s showing both sides of the situation and Ben being worried and concerned.
- I think that this film builds on to the thought of the certain communities “racists” that black people are evil, predators.
