Balance
The still is of a man driving a car and leaning to the side.
Through reminding me of being a child in the back seat and an adult leaning over to talk over their shoulder while they sit in the front seat. Because it's very clearly a dated still, maybe 1950s, it's also making me think of my grandparents.
Although this main character is off balance he still very clearly in control and it's a very normal movement so there's nothing implying fear or lack of safety. If anything, he looks very in control of the movement.
<div class="evocative-info-item"> There's nothing super dramatic about this shot, and the sense of balance that's in here contributes to that - although lots of the different elements of balance are maybe a little precarious or off balance the entire piece feels balanced once you put them all together. </div>
Sound
It's a really familiar sound context - being in a car, hearing the radio - these are often go together. It also seems like sound might be the only thing in this still where it interacts with its context, ie with other characters in the film, because there are no other characters in this still but he is talking into the radio. So it may be that sound is the connecting sensory experience here.
It's definitely reminding me of being on long car journeys, especially in the countryside where there isn't a lot of background noise - it's not clear in the image but I can really a strongly associate a dark rainy night! When looking at the radio, you definitely get a feeling of old fashioned radio as well, crackly and older style music.
It's hard to tell in the still whether the sound of the radio would be loud or quiet, so it's hard to gauge my reaction to these physical element of the sound because it's at such a remove.
I think I would call this low energy unpleasant, going by the how we feel grouping of emotions. And I say that because the lack of knowing what the level of sound is, how much sound has happening, the absence of sound in so many different respects means that it just puts me ever so slightly on edge.
