even though the frames were are still shots, some of them seemed less static than others. there was a movement to some of them, maybe a slight vibration. any noise and music increased this feeling of movement. also, for the most part, the still shots did not seem stagnant or unchanging, there was a feeling of movement and time captured within many of the shots, especially those with humans.
the fading of images into each other gave me a feeling of passing of time and changing locations or situations.
since the movie was in black and white, the use of the darkness and light was very important to balance the shots and create strong, interesting compositions.
there was some repetitive images, either playing directly after each other or showing up on several occasions throughout the film. i think that since the movie is all still frames, this is necessary and important for us to get a sense of what is going on, a sense of the characters, and an idea what everything means- why it is showing up when it does.
