Moonrise Kingdom Scene review

The first shot in the this sequence of shots is a long shot with the cop car with an adult leaning on it placed on the left side, windmill centered extremely far off, and the scouts sporadically spread out in the field. This shot has everything spread and is showing the scouts looking for the two main characters. The field is extremely large suggesting finding a needle in a hay stack. The Lighting and cloud cover is gray and overcast giving the feeling that the search is not going to well. 
Next the father (Bill Murray) pops up and is centered in the picture as the shot becomes a mid shot with scouts off to the right and the police cars off to the left. Bill Murray looks lost and not sure what to do. The black eye is prevalent and it almost looks like he has no clue what is going reminding be of a boxer that has been hit and daised and confused.
The shot then tracks right as bill murray moves right murmuring about the batteries as the scout master and phone operator talking about Murray and how he hit his face some how in the dark last night. This again shows his wondering and aimlessly moving around while "searches" for his daughter. the shot is in-between mid to full shot with again the wind mill centered as the master and operator on the right quietly having their own conversation to me showing that murray is partly separated from the community. As normally people will just as how he got the black eye. 
As the shot tracks Murray the love triangle comes into place with Murray centered in the background almost over the shoulder of the the police officer and Murray's wife. This shot shows Murray still daised and depressed and then gets on smaller motor bike bring out the childish nature of Murray's. Its like he is reverting back what he knows almost like a mid life crisis as his wife is having an affair right in front of him. as he reverts back to being child he isnt mature enough to see what is happening right in his face.
