Taken
The three girls are taken by an officer from their mothers. We watch as Molly's mother, grandmother, and aunt slap their hands against the car that holds the young girls. The imagery represents the desperation of the aborigine people to keep what is rightfully theirs, but their inability to grab it as it is kept from them.
Keening
We watch and listen as two mothers kneel while the grandmother bashes her head with a stone. The image of them immovable crying out in horrific pain at the severing of their children from them shows the reality of the kind of death they experienced at the loss of their children at the hands of the English colonizers.
TIme to Go
We watch as Molly looks out from the bunk where she Daisy and Gracie are to see if anyone is around to catch them if they attempt an escape. The camera shows Molly's point of view in an unsteady composition. The unsteady nature represents her fear within this defining moment for her, her sister and Gracie.
Tilted
We see Neville talking on the telephone. He's discussing the escape of the three girls with a secretary and the camera angle is slanted down from right to left. The imagery makes the viewer feel off-balance and represents what Neville is feeling at the moment.
