(at around 1h 38 mins) While Atticus is giving his closing arguments standing before the jury, the camera briefly switches to Jem sitting in the balcony and then quickly back to Atticus who is now leaning on the rail in front of jury instead of standing stock straight. The cuts are not seamless. A closeup of Atticus ends where he is only seen from his elbows up and his thumbs may be tucked into the pockets of his vest. After the closeup of Jem, the scene cuts to a long shot of Atticus from the back of the courtroom standing on his left leg with this right leg resting on the bottom rail of the jury box, perhaps leaning with a stiff right arm on the top rail of the jury box and with his left arm across his chest perhaps grasping his right arm. In this pose, he says, "In the name of God, believe Tom Robertson" and pauses for three seconds, at which time the scene cuts to a closeup of Atticus from above his elbows up, apparently leaning with both arms on the top rail of the jury box, raising himself to an upright position.
