Blackfish Still Image and Still Videos

The image I chose to analyze is from the documentary Blackfish.  The shot takes place at about 4:21 in the movie.  It is a still image of the beginning of a dance routine that a trainer and the killer whale are performing.  This scene goes on for about 10 seconds with interview shots interrupting every few seconds.  The interviews are describing the excitement and exhilaration that comes just with being in the presence of an Orca.  These people describe their experiences as “breath-taking” and “overwhelming.”  They go on to describe the beauty and magnificence of the creatures.  This still really puts what they are talking about into a visually appealing format as the way these people move and interact with these whales is very fascinating.  This obviously takes place in the movie when they are still simply describing the excitement of training these whales rather than the darker themes that are present throughout the rest of the film.
