Unknown
The theme of, "The Unknown" is exemplified here in this shot of a white tree. The tree is in multiple scenes throughout the film. Every scene with the tree in it is shot with filters that make the whole setting look angelic and almost dreamy in a way. In the shot, the sky and horizon are gloomy and melancholy while the foreground and mid-ground are illuminated brightly with the contrast super high and saturation low.
Mood
The theme, "Mood" is depicted here in this shot. The face of the girl happens to be monochrome and in focus while the background seems to be colored and blurred. Black and white in this frame make the girl's face stick out which intensifies her facial expression. Her facial looks sad and that gives the shot a mood of sorrow or grief over the death of her mother.
Obstacle
This frame of the gate to the cemetery shows the theme of, "Obstacle." This gate of a cemetery represents challenge and obstacle in the life of the two little girls when their mother dies. When their mother died, the the older sister blamed the younger sister for them not being able to speak to their mother before she died. The scene when the two daughters are in the graveyard was influenced by the picture.
Relationship
"Relationship," is the theme shown in this frame above. The story line of this movie revolves around relationship because the sisters relationship between each other drastistically change when the death of their mother occurs. Also this image seems to be more of an intimate relationship, it can represent the sibling relationship just because of the word, "relationship." Also, the fact that the image is black and white, it can relate to the sorrow and grief that changed the sisterly relationship.
Setting
This image of the cockpit of a rotted, broken down airplane relates to the theme of setting in the film. The image influenced the scene when the younger sister enters a spaceship in the woods and wakes up older, as if it was a dream. The image and the actual scene have multiple visual details to add to the theme. The outside of the aircraft is the woods, which gives the scene a sense of being lost or exploration. In the cockpit, it is rotted down and makes the scene seem old and unused.
Character
This image of a girl in a swing influences the scene where the younger sister is swinging on a swing while her older sister in on the ground next to her. The actions between the two sisters show an effect of what the death of their mother has done to their relationship. This depicts both characters as sorrowful and mourning. The younger sister sits in the swing, slowly swinging and staring at the ground because she is sad over her mother decesing.
Time
This picture exemplified the theme of, "Time." The picture does this because the scene of the picture looks to be night. I can make this assumption because of the lantern and dimly lit background. This image influenced the scene where the younger sister was running through the cemetery in search of her spaceship. This spaceship would take her to mother she thought. That represents time in the actual theme of the film.
Goal
The image above represents the the theme of, "Goal" to the viewer. This picture was exemplified by the scene in the film when the younger sister sees a spaceship that she thinks will take her to her mother. She thinks that this spaceship will be the only way that she can get back to her mother. This sets a goal for the younger sister which causes her to feel the need to get to this spacecraft.
