The bond between a mother and child is one of the most precious and priceless tokens of life. When this bond is destroyed or taken away due to a non-caring and selfish kidnapper, loved ones are left to mourn and grief with harsh guilt. In the movie, "Deep End Of the Ocean," the director uses cinematic techniques to interpret the feeling of guilt. The feelings of guilt can occur even if the situation isn't anyone's fault. Close-ups, sound, and lighting all help to interpret the feelings and view of guilt in, "Deep End Of the Ocean."

Using close-ups to show the feeling of resentment, hurt and guilt can distinguish a good movie from a great movie. Close-ups add spice and juice to a movie showing the personal value that the characters endure as different emotions come and go. The first scene that the director uses to show guilt is when the mother was attending her tenth year high school reunion. She had to bring along her children due to lack of babysitters. As she turns around one quick minute and then back again she discovers her young boy missing. The look in the young moms face let alone defines the term guilt. Using the close-up method the audience can make out the hurt and guil

The next cinematic technique was sound. Without sound and music in a movie it would be so dull and tasteless. In a scary movie before a scary scene occurs audiences wait for the 'scary music' to come. In a sad scene we usually hear light music like classical. In this case the sound I heard was screaming. Screams of anger, regret and guilt. After five hours of searching for her beloved son she went mad. Threw herself to the floor and screamed like she's never screamed before. The theme music also had the meaning of shame and guilt with sadness. The next and final example for sound was when the mother argued with her husband about how she feels guilty and how she lives each and every day in guilt.

The last and final cinematic view is the use of lighting on stage. The first scene was when the mother sat there waiting for an answer from the police officers the lights dimmed and made the scene look more guilt stricken. The next scene was when the older brother confessed his guilt to his little brother. The scene was very dark since it was night time and the dark background made his guilt look more real. The last and final scene was when the lighting dimmed greatly as the dad sat in his car thinking over what he has said to his wife in great guilt
