The beginning scenes of Ulee's Gold function largely to introduce the characters. In fact, a large portion of the film is spent on establishing the dysfunctional and individualistic lives of these family members. Ulee, being the protagonist, is introduced without dialogue. After a tracking shot of swampy landscape we are enabled to watch him at work with his bees, a top priority in his life. His graying hair and wrinkles indicate that he is an older man. His older appearance, we discover later, is caused by his workaholic tendencies and the stress he has suffered as he helplessly watches his family fall apart. He drives his truck alone out of the bee yards and we are allowed several seconds to view of the marshy roadside as he drives out of the shot. The emptiness of the landscape suggests a dreariness and muck that saturates the film with a sense of hopelessness. .
The first character, after Ulee to be introduced is the innocent, Penny, when Ulee picks her up from school in his truck. Just before he picks her up, there is a medium close shot of Ulee waiting in his truck as a school bus drives by. On the surface, the school bus simply establishes that Ulee is near a school. But on another level, the school bus is public transportation on which many children ride. Because we soon see Penny waiting to be picked up, it becomes clear that she is probably quite isolated in school. She stands alone, not talking to anyone around her, and she does not ride the bus like the other kids. As she enters the truck, we see her through a point of view shot from Ulee's perspective. This reveals that they have a significant relationship and it is with Penny that Ulee sympathizes the most. She calls him by his first name and speaks to him somewhat politely, asking him how he's been. This is unusually adult behavior for a child so young who is also this man's own granddaughter. From her appearance, her plaid shirt around her waist and her somewhat stringy hair, we can gather that she is young and somewhat boyish.
