Even though this blog post is not about Hannah's mom here is a link if you care to find out about the story that i captured your attention with! http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/24/justice/hannah-anderson-family-autopsy/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
and on to the content.
The overall subject is portrayed very neutrally in the frame. The house is not directly on one of the intersections of the lines. The things that capture the eye of the viewer are places in the background like the field and the water. The eye is also slightly drawn to the house but not as much as the background around the house. The house and the field are the things that are foregrounded in the picture verses the water and the islands that are backgrounded. The image wants us to think about how much nature is around the pre-cogs now that they have left the pre crime system. Maybe how small they are in the scheme of things. Some of the elements like the house might be a little bit more important than the water and the islands, only because something actually important is happening in them. In this scene there is a very natural use of lighting. This natural usage of lightning makes the small house look more realistic and gives the audience a sense of being able to relate to the sunset. This type of shot is definitely a extreme long shot. The effect of this shot is that the audience understands the background and scenery more. This shot helps establish the isolated nature feel of the scene. The house is included in the crane to contribute to the event happening in the shot, it allows us to make the connection that the pre-cogs are living inside and that they are isolated and in the middle of nowhere.
