Write up your notes in PEE format.


The scene begins with an establishing shot. This is a close up of a skull. It is strange for an establishing shot not to be a wide shot, which would normally set the scene. However this close up suggests something feels a little bit too close for comfort. The skull symbolizes death and foreshadows what is about to happen to Smallwood in this scene. The camera then zooms out to show a churchyard and Smallwood walking through it. The sounds of his footsteps can be clearly heard, suggesting loneliness and being isolated. The other sound that can be heard at this point is church music and a choir singing ‘All things bright and beautiful’ which juxtaposes the feeling of foreboding suggested by the skull and Smallwood’s loneliness.
