Visual Cue- 500 Days of Summer







Just by looking at this screenshot you can tell this guy looks pretty miserable without knowing much behind the storyline.  By observing this scene, you can see that he is in an elevator with an i-hate-the-world expression on his face, along with an un-kept appearance, and a slouched body posture.  This leads to the conclusion that he must be unhappy and or depressed.  In previous scenes, it shows a much more put together persona of him, being dressed nicely with his hair combed and an optimistic/positive look on his face.  It shows him being productive at work, but later (in relation to this scene shown) it shows him with no inspiration or output at work.  All of these sharp contrasting visual cues are due to either the presence or lack of being in love.  It is not hard to notice when Tom is in love during a scene or when he has had his heart ripped out by whom he thinks is his “soulmate” because of the visual cues given.
