The first shot is a slow paced extreme close up of the wall moving down to a man's feet. We can guess this from the baggy jeans and the smart brown shoes. The wall is also low key and dull in colour which enhances before we've seen that something terrible has happened. It then fades/ dissolves into the next shot of another extreme close up of the man's eyes where he's wearing glasses and his hair is partly covering them enhancing a sense of a disheveled character who is either generally has messy hair or something has occurred to cause it to be like this and he is too shook to correct it. Also his dark brown eyes darken and ground the mood in consideration to if they were blue which would create a happier and brightened mood.
Furthermore the music in the first few shots is a calm however sharp sound of maybe glasses or can being hit to make a rhythm. This could then hint that maybe the girl had been hit sharply and now she has died in a calm stream. For a split second as the establishing shot appears of her lying in the stream of a maybe a sewer to allow the audience to concentrate on what's in the shot other than the man. The mood then changes to a more positive one as she's in school as we know by the non- diegetic sound of the school bell ringing and the brighter colours of the lockers. Also the shot before is of her wrist in the water with bracelets on and this links onto the next shot as she's opening the locker with the same bracelets. This is how we know she is the same character. We know this is what the producers want us to recognise as her wrist is in shallow focus in the foreground.
Composition- His distance from the girl is quite far considering she's dead, emphasising how he is maybe frightened of her dead state and distraught from what has happened even though we still don't know. His still facial expressions appear scared and shocked and he is maybe trying to establish what he's looking at.
