Never Forget - Jacob Knowles

In the start of the sequence we see a close up of the main female character's feet, we immediately see her feminine shoes and tights. This costume that the character is wearing indicates her gender, this is then reinforced when the camera pans up showing her skirt and long hair.

In the next scene we see a close up of a person in a tuxedo straightening their cuffs and bow tie in a fairly rough manner. This costume and body language are both very masculine and heavily emphasize the masculinity of this character. In this scene there is also calm, relaxed, classy music. We then cut to a contrasting image of the female character very precisely fixing unnoticeable faults with her hair and makeup, indicating further femininity. However the music does cut, leaving noises of cars and of the city.

When we cut to the next scene we see a shot of the main male character's phone, showing his wallpaper of him and his partner, the main female character. This shows a degree of care from the male character, or protectiveness. We cut to a medium shot of the male character, showing his face for the first time in the sequence. The dark lighting of the scene contradict the smartness of his costume, as he looks like he should be indoors in a fancier setting.

We then cut to a scene of the female character picking up her phone to respond to the man, We can see a long shot of the female character as she walks along the waterfront, with this shot her overall costume and appearance become clearer as she is lit by the streetlights surrounding her. In this light she appears golden, this may be suggesting that she isn't doing anything wrong in the relationship before revealing her cheating.

As the camera cuts between the male and female character while they converse, it eventually lands on the male character as he asks if the female character had a good night last night.As he does this he retains his calm, masculine posture, but a grim expression come's over his face. We then see jumpcuts between the female character lying about her night, and what actually happened on the night. We see the female character drinking in the club with other males, as the it progresses through the night the lighting changes in the sense that her face is less and less lit in each scene. From scene to scene the female character also went from talking, to dancing, to kissing the secondary male character in the sequence. The lighting may have purposefully corresponded with this sequence of events. While she is kissing the secondary male character we see and ECU of the female character taking off her wedding ring, which then cuts to a medium shot of her leading the secondary male character out of the club. Up to this point the pace has been steadily increasing through the use of shot frequency.

We then see a medium long shot of the main female character standing on a bridge in front of the waterfront. She is reassuring the male character when he said he was feeling sick, telling him that he should have called her. At this point she is in a much darker setting, with less light on her face than in any other scene.She begins to look very concerned as she begins to realize that the main male character most likely knows that she had cheated or had been cheating. We cut back to a close up of the man, he has a grim expression and a shadow cast across his face as he tells her how much he loves her. We then cut to an extreme close up of the man's face as he tells her that before they met he was content and didn't need her, and for her never to forget that. His facial expression indicates contempt, which reinforces what he is saying about her remembering that his soon to be suicide is all her fault.

We then hear the phone hang up and see a close up of the the woman in the dark, she looks very worried from what the man has just said. She is still surrounded in darkness. All of a sudden we hear the noise of the man's body hitting the floor and the woman's sharp scream. The scene then ends.
