In Class Assignment

Questions
1)How does the shading of the picture give the audience an overall sense of the mood of the film?
2)Why does the mother seem to be the central character of the film via the text, yet the picture focuses primarily on the boy?
3)What is the relationship between this boy and woman? Are these two people the mother and child?
4)Why is the child looking away from the screen?
5)What is the significance of the mother's hand having the city shaded into it?
6)How does the title of the film foreshadow the events that will occur throughout the film?

Observations
1)The color of the film is revealing of the overall mood of the film.
2)It is strange how the text revolves around the mother, yet the picture revolves around the child.
3)It is interesting that the text leads us to believe the people in the picture are mother and son, when there is no other proof of the existence of this relationship.
4)It is interesting that the boy is looking away from the screen, as if he is looking for hope.
5)It is strange how the woman's hand has the reflection of a city, when in reality a hand cannot reflect images.
6)It is interesting how the word aftershock appears broken and crumbled, because that is the typical visual we assosciate with that word.
