     Tom Cruise in this frame is portrayed as a focused and thoughtful figure. The was the shot is taken really draws your attention to the hands. With the very touch influenced idea of the futures technology the frame creates a feel of importance. The background is completely blank while the foreground is taken up with images of the murder than the pre-cogs have predicted. The shot makes me see Cruise as putting work ahead of everything as well as being focused on it. I think the mystery that the images on the screen create are the most important part of this shot.
     The lighting in this shot is very bright and almost clean looking. This makes a feeling of a clean, fast and knight in shining armor police force. He is dressed in all black maybe suggesting that he the black sheep of his force. This is a medium full lazy frame shot. It is a very in your face apparent shot. There is no denying it. A black sheep in a clean perfect system is a good way of pointing out that not everything is as it seems.

    I like your idea of Anderton being a "black sheep," of sorts, but there's so much more you can do in this analysis.

    For example, you mentioned some of the images in the background. Can you comment on some specifically? Also, your wording needs work in some places. When you write, "With the very touch influenced idea of the futures technology the frame creates a feel of importance . . ." I can't follow your thinking here.
