7. MOOD/LOOK Extracting a raw performance and using the camera in a semi documentary way bringing it up and close and placing it in the middle of the action. Groups of people, the masses, have a threatening face. Loneliness and deep scars make us incapable to heal. The gritty realistic everyday of the characters is juxtaposed by beautiful, fairytale like nature that brings peace or could bring tranquility if the characters could let go off the past and live in the present.
