We first hear a crackling noise, like something breaking which makes us assume a panicked situation where something bad is happening. We see an old building, with dark browns, rusted nails and window sills, rusted nails are holding up pipes which makes the building seem unsafe, and as it is old it is more dangerous and more likely to crumble etc. There are dirty old windows, everything is very run-down. The brownish red/orange colours of the whole scene hint to the fire which we see shortly after.
We hear an innocent child’s quick breathing which suggests a panicked situation as it continues to increase with pace and get louder. The innocent child’s danger is heightened as we get closer to them; the camera zooms in towards the window. Fire slowly comes into view inside the window, then we hear the child scream and we see a little girl’s face pushed up against the window – through this scene our tension builds to this point to make us then shocked when we hear the scream and see the girl.
There is then a wide camera angle shot to give us the whole view of what it happening. We see that the old building is a hospital with fire raging throughout and a brigade of firemen trying to put it out. We feel tense as there appears to be a rush and limited time.
After this zoomed out anti-climax scene which lessens our tension slightly, there is a shock explosion which adds to the fast paced action and keeps us interested.
Everyone ducks for cover from the explosion and more people run toward the hospital to help.
The little girl we saw at the window is carried out and asked if she is hurt, does she know where her mummy is? She says nothing but blankly stares at the hospital. Our view is then sent back to the window where the fire is now out of control and we go deeper in until the screen is just orange, ending the scene with us knowing that her mum is still inside and wondering what will happen next?
