Plot: What can you tell about the plot from this small excerpt?
The plot has something to do with discovering why the man’s last word was “Rosebud”. This is probably a nickname for an old flame of his. He lived in a run- down Castle like home which suggests that he had troubles. The plot is a mystery of whom or what is “Rosebud”.

The close up of the gate was the first scene, and as the shot moved up the gate, it became closer giving the sense of dread. It then gave a long pause on the Castle beyond the gate to the right which shows the place in which we are dreading to go. There is a close up and a pause with each new scenery. Before we get to the castle, we have a long pause making it feel like we are scared to go in, but anxious to know what lies ahead. We end with a close up of the window with its light on, then dramatically goes off, which suggests that something important is going on, so we have the sensation of hurrying.
