Post 5 - Brick

This shot is a medium close up of some shoes. By the looks of things these shoes belong to a boy. They are not trainers or boots so we sterotypically think hes been to work or school as these brown shows are smart. However the shot only focuses on the shoes which implies that his face is trying to be hidden or the directer doesnt want us to know what he looks like just yet.

The editing in this part of the clip shows the girl on the floor then the boys face, each time get closer to his face. The shots are of the girls shoes, hair, then her hand. The shot of the girls hand in the water implies her life is slipping away like the water is throught her lifeless fingers. The  editing then quickly changes to the same girls hand putting a note into someones locker at school. We can tell the hand belongs to the girl as the braclets are exactly the same. This tells the audience that this shot is in the past when she was alive. Also it makes the audience question who the note is for, 'isit the boys locker whos with her?'


 The music in the titles is of cowbells which makes the auidience think of a western country. Also there is a faint sound of running water, which later relates to where the girl is. The cowbells confuse the audience when the film begins as it isnt set in a western country.






Within the mise en scene in this shot we can see the boy looking at the girl 'emily' who appears to be dead on the floor. We can see a tunnel where either sewage or water runs through. The way she is laying make the audience question whether she jumped off or was pushed.
