8. Themes -Fear and family -Love -Career

9. Setting -Set in the park on the docks in New Jersey -Gives characters a chance to discuss their lives -Gives a background on Edie

10. Historical/Social/Cultural Context -Culture of the 1950s -Black and white film: normal for time period -Clothing is common for those in this time period -Edies dress is popular for women -Terrys clothing mimics those worn by working class men -Terry accustomed to the city -I never really liked the country

11. Edies clothing -Edie covered neck down -Insecure about her self, low self- esteem: Very little skin is revealed -Losing her glove represents the vulnerability she is feeling -When she takes it back, she is more comfortable and the mood lightens

12. Music The music enters as soon as Edie tells Terry that sheremembered him the first moment she saw him. It is as though it is a pivotal moment. It suggests that a relationship may be possible. Edie seems to reciprocate and flirt back as opposed to the first portion of this scene, the music increasing the intensity and reflecting her reciprocation.

13. Sound Effects Initially all that can be heard is the whistling of the ships and the sound of the gusty wind. This complements the effect of the fog and almost isolated atmosphere. Only Terry and Edie are around suggesting it would be unwise to leave Edie walk alone. It interferes with the dialogue and somewhat adding to the awkwardness in their conversation.
