TIME (seconds): 25 – 32
LOCATION REPRESENTED: On porch outside home
SCRIPT: “But I didn't have any money for transportation so I had to wait a day for someone to take us.”
EMOTION CONVEYED FROM SCRIPT: Despair, sadness, helplessness
FEATURES OF VISUAL OBJECTS: The back of Lydia—we see only her lower body as she carries a baby in an infant car seat, pacing on a porch in rhythmic steps, presumably to soothe the baby, waiting and looking for someone. A black wrought iron bench sits on the right; brick pillars connected by wrought iron fencing surround the shaded porch. The sun shines, creating shadows and darkness on the cement of the porch.
EMOTION CONVEYED FROM VISUAL: Physical tiredness, helplessness. Contrast of lightness and darkness evokes feelings of right and wrong, warmth and coldness.
