In this film still the two characters are on screen holding each other, the camera is focussed on them which indicates the characters are very close and in love. Their hair seems unkempt which could signify how they live or the harshness of the situation. The use of low key lighting creates a sharp outline of their bodies but also makes them appear shadowed compared to the background, which is also unfocused; This gives us a contrasted image of the two people and the bright street lights in the background and we can tell its night time. The darkness of the environment and the characters wind swept hair tell us its a cold atmosphere; plus the concrete is wet so we know its been raining and the trees in the background add to the idea of the location they're in. It seems like a smaller country town in a wet or cold season. The wide angled shot immediately tells us something will happen behind the two characters, most likely something to do with the car which is in the shot. The girl also has her eyes closed and this shows us she's stressed and is finding comfort in her boyfriend and how he's holding her.
