The meaning of this photograph within the screen shot taken from our match on action sequence is meant to represent the location of the danger source, were the narrative will conclude and where the new equilibrium will commence. In the case of Wes Craven’s Scream quadrilogy, part of the antagonism lies within simple phone calls, so within the movie when you see the phone ringing, it is a clear indication that the killer is on the end of the phone, therefore defeating that person on the end of the phone will defeat the antagonist and change the equilibrium.
