Paragraph 4
The desert when the girls find the fence. We see a walking camera and low angle that creates domonance. The high angle camera also creates character fragile. Aborigional music.

Lighting of the girls ;dying in the desert
Fench casn be a metaphor and symbol for exclusion and seperation and being built by white people.
Aborigional musics. Heat Waves
Culturally Insewnsitive
Belongong
A.O Neville the head of the school and the one that sells the aboriginal childern.
Trhough a still mid angle shot so we can see Gracies face. When the girls arrived at the school, Gracie speaks in her native language "New Clothes" the girls were given a new set of clothes to wear at the school for half-casts. The nurse replies "This is your new home. We don't use that jaba here you speak english" They don't feel like they are trying to belong but feel like the school is msaking them all the same
This is an indication of how culturally insensitive this school is and they are trying to be isolated of their culture and being made the same
fence is a motif and a symbol fortheir long journey and hunt they are on their way home
