Inspiration- Death scene






  • We can clearly see the water seeping towards him, foreshadowing the oncoming events. We see the beginning of his death start from his feet when he slips and when his life ends, we're shown first by his feet loosing movement/life. 
  • The non-diegetic sound that accompanies the slip creates tension as its a conventional piece of music used in films to create tension, with a quite low tone, getting louder and then stopping, in this case when his foot slips. 










  • Whilst we see Tod struggling to free himself from the plug from the medium shot, there's a jump cut to a point of view shot of the shower head showing us what Tod is currently seeing is his current state of panic. 
  • The shot is slightly canted and it jolts when on the screen to show his sudden movements and panic. 











  • This close-up shot of Tod shows the fear in his eyes and also blood shooting through his eyes has been edited in. 
  • Soon after we see him looking at the animals in the cabinet that appear to have their eyes in his direction as though they're watching him which juxtaposes the father, who we see soon after the animals, asleep in another room as he's someone that could help but he's unaware of what's going on in the bathroom. 
  • Diegetic sound of Tod suffocating is included here. 



  • A clock is also shown ticking and the sound of the clock is also included making it clear that time is going on and as time goes on, the close Tod is getting to his death. 










  • We see Tod's toes curling in his state of panic, as though he is putting in everything he possibly can, all of his strength even down to his toes, but then we see his feet lose movement completely a few seconds later and this is when we know that his life has come to an end. 
  • The non-diegetic sound that accompanies this section speeds up and also gets louder as the end of his life comes, and when his life ends, the sound stops and we only hear one high note until the end of the scene. 

  • Tod is almost always tightly framed, as if he cannot escape what is happening to him.
  • Also the shots jump cut from one another quite quickly and we never see Tod for more than a few seconds which means that a scene like this could be shot in many different shots an edited together which makes it easier for the character to act more realistically and also when editing.
