DVD Chapter 20  The Night Before The Trial
Take a look at these images from the scene in which the children
confront Atticus, and the lynch mob, outside the jail.

	In these images from the film, Atticus, alone, sits reading, with a lamp, outside the jail, the night before the trial of Tom Robinson is to begin. Sheriff Tate had forewarned him that there might be trouble. Next, the children who have seen Atticus from afar, watch as cars carrying the lynch mob pull up outside the jail.
	The children watch this from behind some bushes, but as the lynch mob exits their cars, the children use the opportunity to come closer, to get a close up view of what is happening.   They make their way to the front of the mob.  They are looking up at Atticus.  Where is the camera positioned? What impact does this perspective communicate?
	After one of the lynch mob tells the children to go home, a tussle ensues, and Atticus moves the children up to where he has been seated. Again, where is the camera positioned? Why? What impact does this perspective (angle) communicate?
	A Universal Pictures publicity still.  Where is the camera now? What is communicated when the POV is shooting down at the mob?
	Another Universal Pictures publicity still.  Where is the camera now? Whose perspective are we supposed to see?
	Now, the crowd has dispersed.  Where is the camera now? What is communicated?
