Close reading on film; A Beautiful Mind

I've chosen 2 films still about the movies that shows the emotions on the the characters.
In the first film; figure 10,  it shows John Nash hugging his "friend" for support, because he was having a rough day due to not having his idea accepted to another professor. John Nash suffers from schizophrenia so often Nash tends to forget what he does and tend to have hallucations and when this occur his best friends comes in hand to support him and keep him calm.
While watching the movie you end you miss little details that may be important when writing the paper.        
This clip shows a tragic orange/grayish color that shows the viewers how sad yet happy this part was to John because he saw his imaginary friend.
I could use this film still to shows the readers how a schizophrenia person minds works on a regular day to day base.

The second film still is Figure 11; and it’s when the doctor’s takes John to the clinic so that he can be tested for his illness. While he’s being tested he sees his imaginary friend in the corner just staring at him as if he wants to help. In the movies you don’t really realize on how he really looks like. The film has more of a low tone color that shows the sadness of the movie that’s happening while the doctor is about to give him a shot. And John overreacting and crying for help while staring at his friend knowing his friend won’t be able to do anything. It shows how sad people with this illness goes through hard stuff just so that they can be “fixed”.
You don't realize until you actually get to see the picture while the movie is playing.

Sharing Topics and Two Research Sources

My topic is about Schizophrenia and how it affects with people's life and what they do do to either prevent it from getting worse or avoiding it.  I'm using 2 sources that that help me find the information about the movie.  The first one is a JSTOR call "Schizophrenia" by  Elaine Walker and Kevin Tessner.
