The document discusses how director Phillip Noyce creates empathy for the main characters in the film Rabbit Proof Fence. It does this through establishing shots that introduce the Aboriginal people and their way of life. It then contrasts this with shots that introduce the authorities who seek to remove the Aboriginal children from their families. Noyce uses audio and visual techniques like changing atmosphere to signal trouble arising from the authorities. This helps viewers understand the impact on the stolen generation from both the Aboriginal and authority perspectives.
