Hope consistently offers “a sense of his own worth… or
maybe it was only a sense of freedom” that drives them towards the optimistic possibility
of a life of beyond the grey walls (Hayworth/King 194)

prison while the camera takes a high angle view of the entire yard

The capture of the scene from a perspective above the normal
camera level allows the viewer to fully grasp the freedom felt by the prisoners with a
simple tune
...
Moreover, the prison yard is full of vibrant
sunlight

Andy brings them hope and rejuvenates a more
positive spirit from men in a disheartened environment

camera soars over an aerial shot

While rare, the lightened shots
enhance the strength of unwavering hope
