The theme of the movies is about a bunch of kids who get caught up in something bigger than themselves while all the same remaining kids, whether that is through rituals that you may have (the truffle shuffle) the kids who may force the others to do those things, the sympathetic voice of reason who does the right thing and just the way they go about doing it is even childish in letting him in, the theme is didactic you can see how it is through the characters.
The scene I chose was from the movie “The Goonies”. The line between the speakers is the main line but also the line leading from the fence up into the characters face to show that is where you eye is to be going. Shape would be behind him in the shot there is a wind catcher that is round and moving foreshadowing what the character is about to make is shape become. The space between the two characters is vital in this scene it is what give the scene it’s sense of urgency the boy who needs to get in can’t because of the fence and because of the distance between the two characters the boy at the door is able to force the boy at the fence to do the truffle shuffle, it also forces them to yell which adds some to the embarrassment of it all. The rhythm between the two is important as well with the chanting back and forth really keeps the scene moving but also gives it a pace and allows you to know that it is headed in some sort of direction. The movement is what is most important in the scene ultimately the movement is the truffle shuffle there is also some movement in the sense that the boy at the door is calm and standing in a relaxed manner and the boy on the couch has to get up and help them. Tension and release is evident in this shoot through the yelling and ultimately allowing the boy at the fence in. There is also contrast and affinity between the two, contrast because one is in and the other is not, and affinity because one is equal enough to allow the other in.
