Trapped:From the moment we are introduced to Lester Burnham we are given an image of a man who is trapped. The first thing we see is him waking up too an empty bed showing his wife is already up and getting ready for the day ahead. He then gets in the shower and is shown behind the shower door, then watching his wife talking to the neighbours behind the window giving us this idea of him being trapped again. He is then rushed to the car where he sits in the back barely see able at first behind his wife and daughters seats.
His wife is in control: His wife seems to rule the household, she is the first one up as in the opening seen Lester has woken up too an empty bed showing she has somewhere more important to be. She is first dressed and out doing the gardening as Lester gazes out the window at her making conversation with the neighbours about her much he loves her roses. She drives the car to work and is the first one ready to go as she complains at how late Lester is making her.
Music: The music is slow, boring and repetitive like Lesters life. Changing a bit every know and then but only slightly this also mirrors Lesters life. The music is a motif which is used throughout the film.
Colours: The colours at the start are dull and boring when we are first introduced to Lester but when his appears the colours get brighter we see the red roses, blue window shutters and the orange door. When he gets too work he has a plain white shirt and black tie but his employee has a navy suit with a blue shirt and eye catching tie.
make sure you add the image correctly.
