Audio Visual

Firstly I began by listening to the audio of this clip 'Beaches'. My first thoughts were that it was in a hospital as you could here the sound of a heart machine and slow, jerking breathing, there are two women there, one that was ill and the other maybe a visitor, the visitor says "Hill, Hill" which i would asume is the name of the patient. The patient says in a deep heavy beathing voice "hi, i waited for you" slow music then begins which portrays sadness, the words 'I waited for you' indicate to me that she has held on and not let go to die yet (sounds as if crying), she says 'she wants to go' which also indicates that she wants to die. When watching the clip without audio i saw a different scenario, the shot is clever as it shows us the side profile of the woman who looks very ill and the front profile of the visitor this gives a full view of the two main characters and shows also that these two people are close, it also shows that the 'visitor' could be more powerful and a bigger character than the ill woman. the shot goes onto just the 'visitors' face and you can see from this shot that she loves the other woman very much and is deeply upset at what is happening she looks sad but comforting, this tells me that they are very close friends or maybe even relatives. The focus turns onto the ill womans face, she looks very ill and then when she realises who is there we see how happy she is to see this person which indicates also how close these two women are. I think this woman could be dying as she looks like she is having trouble breathing as her chest is jerking, the visitor looks as if she could be giving some bad news. When putting the Audio and visual together i realise that the woman doesnt want to die she wants to get out of the hospital and she is not being given bad news but just telling her friend she doesnt want to die in hospital.
