Screenshot Analysis:
One of the most interesting things about Wes Anderson films is his extensive use of reflection symmetry. The tree house is positioned in the direct center of the shot with trees on either side of the background. The camera is using a long shot to incorporate the entirety of the tree house as well as to put the height of the tree in perspective by showing the troop leader and the two scouts. In this shot we can also observe Anderson's use of contrast to create humor. The fact that the tree house itself is so much wider than the trunk of the "tree" holding it is a far fetched concept because in reality, something with those proportions would simply fall over. Another interesting aspect of Anderson cinematography is his use of imperfection. If we focus on the rungs of the ladder up to the tree house specifically, we see that they are not evenly spaced as if they were built by a stage crew. Imperfections like these really give life to Anderson's shots and by extension, his entire film.
