Key Scenes:
An important scene within this film is when 'Arlo' (the main character) is given a task by his dad to kill the creature eating all their food. This is an important scene as the audience are able to see more of Arlo's character and personality. He is unable to kill the creature and then he gets into trouble with his Dad. This is important because the audience are able to see that even though Arlo wants to make his Dad proud he still has a soft character and does what he thinks is right rather than listening to his Dad. We later see in the film that his action of ignoring his Dads task leads to something more serious and heart breaking for Arlo. This scene is important because it shows that Arlo will always try and do the right thing. So the audience knows that later on in the film he will do the right thing by maybe putting himself in danger.
Another important scene is when we see Spot trying to help Arlo with food. This is a significant scene because it shows that even though Spot and Arlo relationship at this point is weak, it shows that he is a caring character even though Arlo doesn't know it yet. From this we know that Arlo and Spot are going to be friends because they have shown an act of kindness to each other. This again gives an insight into the characters moral behaviour.
Micro-features:
Two important micro features that work together to create meaning are Sound and Performance. Because the two characters cant communicate the performance is very important as they have to show each other and the audience what they are trying to say to each other in order to connect and build a friendship. One important scene is when Arlo and Spot are bonding together through their family life. No words are exchanged and they use objects to show members of their family. It takes a sad turn when they start to show that their family is dead. This is important because the audience has to try and work out what they are saying. Because there is also little sound it creates a sad atmosphere because it reflects the emotions f the characters. The micro features follow the idea that actions are louder than words.
