Camera shots

-         Low angle shot of washing blowing in the wind – mysterious, suggests something other than the weather is causing it

The old photographs are of children, this and the little girl singing on the tricycle and the close up of the tricycle that’s old and used, suggests the film revolves around children’s fun following them into their adult life, unwanted.
