  • Why do you think the filmmaker uses a close up of the family picture at the beginning of the clip?
  • What camera shot is used when Miguel is blowing into the bottle?
  • Why do you think the filmmaker uses a montage of clips showing Abuelita’s hate towards music?
  • What jobs do you think Miguel’s family do for a living?
  • Look at the colours used in the clip. How do they make you feel?
  • Do you think the colours suit the music playing at the beginning? Why/why not?
  • The filmmaker uses a voiceover from Miguel. Why do you think he does this?
  • Where do you think this clip is set? Why do you think that? Have you seen anything from the clip before?
  • When Miguel is in the marketplace, the filmmaker uses a track camera movement. This is when the camera moves along with what it is filming. Can you spot the track camera movement?
  • Do you think Miguel and Dante are friends? Why do you think that?
