This still is from one of my favourite films, Matilda. This still is taken from a scene of Matilda going through the transition of a young girl, to a couple years older. This particular still is one of my favourites from the film for multiple reasons. The first reason is the composition of the image. Matilda is dead centre of the image (rule of 1/3rds) and fully in focus. She is considered the foreground and the trees behind is the background. I also like the fact that her childhood remains with her as she grows up, it shows this through her love of books & her carrying the trailer everywhere she goes. She also continues to wear a bow throughout.
The image indicates a sense of confidence and independence shown through her posture and facial expression. She is confidently walking without any indication of vulnerability which gives the viewer and impression that she's very independent even at such a young age.
