When choosing our final scene we had to think carefully as we knew we had to make it poignant. The transition between boy and teenager/man is punctuated with the lowering of the hood. Wearing a hood stereotypically connotes anti-social behaviour and is a signifier of wayward  youth within the media therefore when he lowers it in his transition it has more metaphorical meanings to it. We wanted to show that there was a clear difference between his younger self and after finding this unlikely friendship he becomes a different person. Depending on how the audience choose to perceive it some people may believe that its like a flashback and when seeing the older version of Jacob they can see that he's got away from the life he was in and he's now come out of the other side a better person because of the kindness and loneliness of one old man.
