Film Scene Analysis: When Joe comes out of the Cave

Firstly, what happened in this scene, was that Joe was climbing out of the cave that he is trapped in and finally sees the rest of the world. This scene occurred between 1:04:27 - 1:05:27.

Now lets talk about the lighting, the lighting played an effect on the mood change as inside of the cave it was quite dark and gloomy as he is still stuck in the cave, however as soon as he reaches out of the cave, we see a mood change created through the lighting. When he reaches the end of the cave, the lighting becomes much more bright which connotes to being more ecstatic.

Another factor which played a role in the mood change, was the non-diegetic narration. He says "and it was a bright sunny day". The specific use of the word "and", shows that it was after being stuck in the cave for so long and it shows that it has finally come to an end. Also, the use of word "bright", indicates that this scene has more connotations to a joyful feeling.

There is no speech during this time of the movie, as he is alone. However, there is some sort of narration. During the narration, he says that “it was a bright sunny day”, which indicates that this is an joyful scene as the connotations of bright and sunny day are usually quite cheerful hence him getting out of the cave is cheerful.

The purpose of this scene is to show that there is a possible chance that he can come out in such rough conditions. Imagine walking out of a cave, in horrible weather conditions, with a broken leg and still being able to climb. the scene was to show that he did the impossible. Also Joe was determined to get out due to his alpha mindset, he said alos before that he wanted to get out
