Theme of Love:
Final Scene – time to put things right

Setting:

• He is back at the baby's actual home; this shows he cares and knows the baby will do better there than in the townships.
• He holds the baby as if it belongs to him. He does not want to return it as he has found love for him.

Costuming:

• Tsotsi is no longer wearing the black, sad, colours from all the previous scenes. It shows us that he has developed in to a light hearted more loving character.
• The black costume worn in the other scenes is a sign of crime and/or violence. The white shows a sign of surrender to the old life.

Type of shot and shot composition:

• The close up his face when the baby cries shows us a sign of worrying for the crying child; he turns back to help the baby.
• When handing the baby the camera shows us he is nervous. It shows his tears. He does not want to let the little one go. His love for him is too strong.

Lighting and colour:

• The bulk of the light is cast upon Tsotsi and the baby. They are the centre stage of the scene. It shows the first place where they came together (not met) and also the last (of what we know) of their short relationship.
• The dark background shows us where he has come from. He is no longer in hiding and has come into reconciliation for the first time since the death of his beloved dog. His love for the baby changed his personality.
