Scene Description- The film opens in San Dimas, California in the year 2688 AD. Rufus prepares to use a time-traveling phone booth to travel back to 1988 to ensure the Two Great Ones–Bill S. Preston, Esquire and Ted "Theodore" Logan –remain together to form the band "Wyld Stallyns", whose music will become the core of the future's Utopian society. Rufus finds that Bill and Ted are on the verge of failing their high school history class, and, should Ted fail, his father, Police Captain Logan will ship him off to an Alaskan military academy, effectively ending the pair's dreams of forming a band.
Line- There are many lines in this scene, none more important than the eyes of the spectators though. As Bill and Ted approach Socrates all of the surrounding people stare at them, creating clear, yet invisible lines. The pilars behind them are the literal up and down lines in the scene, and they do not impact the shot much other than to show how it is old and in Ancient Greece.
Space- The space in this is close between Bill and Ted, as it is through the entire film. They are best friends so they remain very close, and Socrates is far away because they do not relate to him. Socrates standing alone shows that he has a lot of power, and has no relation with Bill, and Ted.
Rhythm- Rhythm is used in this very well because the whole clip flows well. The way that they speak two different languages, yet are still able to communicate shows the flow is great. The sand is touched by all three characters and a lesson is learned by both.
Movement- The movement in this is first the fact that they teleport into the scene. As dramatic as that seems, they aso get to meet a historical icon by the name of Socrates. They have to walk up a lot of stairs to show that Socrates is so great and powerful, and all knowing. As they stand next to him, socrates moves like he is very startled to see these young boys in crazy cloths, speaking a different language.
