night of the hunter:

1) In what way do the shadows and silhouettes of the Film Noir style affect the story of The Night of the Hunter? The shadows make you feel something, they make you almost nervous and you are on the edge of your seat because you don't know what will happen.

2) What role does music play in the movie? Music plays the biggest role in a movie i would say. With music you could make a scene that is scary and make it happier or make it terrifying all because of the music. 

3) A variety of animals were shown in the river scene where John and Pearl are fleeing from the Preacher, Harry. What do you think those animals symbolized? Animals can symbolize many different things, if the animal is big and scary that can symbolize the big and scary person they are running away from, but if the animal is small an innocent then that can symbolize them running away.

4) Name 2 ways in which the juxtaposition between Good and Evil were represented. I would say this was represented because Harry pretends to be good when really he is evil.

Ben Harper-Dad
