Don't Look Now analysis

The scene opens up as the Bells of Venice, a man humming the it fades into black. The scen then opens outdoor's and soft music is playing. A shot is then shown of the little girl throwing her ball into the shallow river, this could represent the outcome of what may happen. There are a lot of water shots and refelections of the little girl in the river. The girls father is in the house looking at images and there is an image of a church with a little girl sitting in a pew. The little girl outside is wearing red, he then begins to link the two things together and starts to panic. There is then a shot of their little boy playing outside on his bike, and he falls off, this is when feelings start to kick in because you know something bad is going to happen next. The music is playing inside the house, but the camera shot stays outside. The shot outside is of the little boy running to save his sister, because he has seen her fall into the river, drowning. Inside the house, their father is still looking at the image, hand water leaks onto it, linking everything together. The colours of the images begin to smear together which gives the idea of the little girl falling into the river, and drowning. Their father then panics and jumps up and rushes outside to the rive, where he hears his son shouting 'Daddy' He rushes over to river and jumps in to find his little girl. The camera stays on him trying to find his little girl, and his son overlooking, trying too see what is happening. When the man has finally found his daughter he reaches the surface and lets out a scream, at this point the scream cuts across the sound. The shot then shows the man staggering out of the river with his daughter in his arms. As he lays her down onto the river bank and tries to resuscitate his daughter, his son is looking anoxiously looking over. Their mum is inside the house, unaware of what has happened, until she looks out the window at the camera and lets out an almighty scream. Her loud screaming then lead into the next scene of a man drilling into the wall.
