• How does the director’s use of colour set the scene for introducing the two dogs?
• How do you think the donkey feels when he sees these animals? Are there any clues in the clip?
• Why do you think the director uses a single light when the soldier enters?
• The music begins to change as the soldier searches for Mary. Why do you think this is? Do you think it is effective?
• The director uses a low angle shot when donkey Is kicked to the ground. Why do you think he uses this?
• The mood of the music changes as all the animals appear. Why do you think this is?
• The last we see of the soldier is his helmet falling to the ground. What can we infer happened to him?
