The Harlequin

The scene opens with a long slow establishing shot of the setting: a graveyard, while the opening credits are played. The tilted angle is used to imply use of a crane as it swings around the walls of the crypt finishing to reveal the floor of the setting where the graves are. The use of the disorientating angle creates a sense on unease already. Non diegetic sound is used - dramatic orchestral music to suit the drama and suspense of the scene commencing.    
 This fades to the next shot -

Non diegetic sound fades out as diegetic sound becomes clearer (no dialogue, just the sound of her walking) A medium long shot of the main character/lead/female protagonist/heroin (character name: Chase  ) walking towards the grave. From her costume we know she is grieving (possibly/most likely a widow). We do not yet know whose grave she is visiting. We gather that Chase is possibly a well off character as she is wearing stiletto shoes and a hat, iconic for upper class grieving widows (1990's?).

When Chase has walked up to the camera, the camera tilts upward to reveal a medium, low angle shot of her holding a rose to her chest and looking remorseful. (Diegetic sound; she sighs). The walls of the crypt behind her shows she is surrounded and therefore revealing undertones that she is prisoner to the graveyard itself - she is surrounded by it, with graves in its walls, at its mercy.

Cuts to a long, point.of.view shot (using a handheld camera to distill unease in the audience along with diegetic sound -heavy breathing) from a distance watching Chase talk to the deceased. We do not yet know who is watching her or whose point of view it is. As the shakiness of the camera becomes more vigorous, it cuts to -  

A medium shot of Chase kneeling before the grave as she places the rose on the ground. (diegetic sound - she begins to cry).

Cuts to a close-up of her face. The dramatic make-up (part of mise en scene) shows she is devastated, (diegetic sound - crying sobs become progressively more emotional) implying whoever She is grieving was important to her and possibly important to the context of this scene.

Cuts to a medium shot from behind her as she looks over her shoulder as she gasps in fear; possibly because she heard a noise or because she is paranoid and on her guard as she shouldn't be there. She is cautious and weary before turning back.  

Cuts to a medium shot as Chase rises to her feet She takes off her hat as a mark of a last respect and places a hand on the grave saying goodbye (diegetic sound - she is speaking to the deceased), preparing to leave.

Cuts to a medium shot as The Harlequin watching Her is revealed and the audiences suspicions that She is not alone are confirmed. (non diegetic sound is again introduced with a short sudden burst of restrained pitchy violins).

Over the shoulder shot (two shot) that creates suspense as The Harlequin steps out from behind the tree and hides behind the grave , as he watches Chase walk away. (diegetic sound - he is breathing heavily).

Now that she has gone, the camera follows him as he emerges and turns to face the grave. (diegetic sound becomes more prominent - his heavy breathing becomes a scream of rage). This is a low angle medium shot as he glares at the grave with contempt, insinuating he loathes whoever she has lost, or loathes her for missing them so much? This raises questions for the audience. In this shot he is dominant, showing power; his face is barely recognisable showing he has the advantage and there is fear in the fact his identity is not certain.

Jump cuts (the diegetic sound of his scream is overlapped with the sound of the car horn blaring) to a medium two-shot of inside the car as Chase gets into her car and breaks down, crying on the steering wheel in the foreground, unbeknownst to her The Harlequin is leaning in watching silently from behind.

Medium shot continued - in a fit of grief she throws herself back overcome with grief, attempting to compose herself; The Harlequin is suddenly gone and the diegetic sound of the car horn suddenly stopped and her frustration becomes determination.

Cuts to a high angle shot (looking down at her turning the ignition preparing to drive away). Non diegetic sound - dramatic orchestral music builds up again as she drives away. Camera pans, following the car as it drives down the road, music fades as the car becomes more distant. As this shot is looking slightly down at her, it is showing her power being slowly taken away as she is weakened and victimised.

The non diegetic sound fades to silence as there is a dissolve edit to the establishing, low angle shot of the house at night (low key lighting), we assume this is the house Chase accommodates (as her car is in the drive). The door is open insinuating that somebody has broken in. This shot shows the house as dominant and powerful, giving a sense of foreboding for what is about to happen inside.  

Cuts to a tilted (shows incoherence - reflecting the influence and disorientating effect the wine has had on her) close-up shot of an opened, half drank bottle of wine on the table surrounded by tissues. We assume Chase has returned home and has become further victimised and weakened as she has resorted to drowning her sorrows.

Cuts to medium two-shot - in the foreground Chase is distraught, crying while drinking wine, while he is watching from behind a closed glass panelled door. This evokes a sense of dread as he is so close but she is completely  unaware. (diegetic sound - crying/sobbing).

Cuts to close up  over the shoulder shot (two shot)as The Harlequin enters the room, praying on his naive victim. (non diegetic sound begins, subtle, low key building suspense).

 Cuts to extreme low angle, medium shot of The Harlequin drawing out a knife while staring intently at his victim as he approaches her. (Shots become more fast paced building suspense). (non diegetic sound becomes staccato and builds pace building tension as he draws closer to her).

Cuts to extreme close up of the killers face, low key lighting emphasis the insinuation of night and he darkness of his character, and the extravagant make-up. We finally see his face clearly for the first time. (the non diegetic sound climaxes with one final piercing note from the violin).

Camera pans to a medium shot as Chase as she staggers to get up to get more wine; clearly drunk and depressed she struggles to get to her feet.

The non diegetic sound suddenly stops - the violin stops as diegetic sound is introduced with screams from the victim and laughs from The Harlequin.
Cuts to low angle medium shot as The Harlequin approaches Chase and seizes her by her hair so that she falls to her knees, he presses a knife to her throat as she struggles and fails to break free. He cuts her throat, and she falls to the floor, he is left standing dominant and victorious looking down at Her dead body.

Now there is a long slow tracking shot from the living room, down the hallway and up the stairs, that builds suspense to reveal one last shock to the audience in the denouement of the scene. (Non diegetic sound builds again during the tracking shot, building suspense. starts off with slow orchestral, melancholy music.)

  It is revealed that a boy (who we assume is her son) was asleep upstairs in his room, he is now waking up having heard noise from downstairs. A fear of dread is evoked in the audience as they can predict what will happen. (The music builds and becomes more dramatic although does not increase in pace to show sadness at the prospect of what may happen).

Sure enough, the camera cuts to a long, high angle shot to reveal the boy climbing down the stairs. This angle shows him as being weak and vulnerable, in part due to his young age. He gets smaller as he descends, weakening him more the further he goes. (The non diegetic music becomes more dramatic but maintains its mournful style in respect of the innocence of his character).

Finally, the audiences worst fears are confirmed when the camera cuts to a high angle close-up shot of the door frame just as the boy appears peaking round the corner of the living room door, having seen the killer standing over the body of his dead mother. 
(The non diegetic sound climaxes with one final melancholy note to make the boys discovery more emotive and descends into lower keys). The shot ends with the boys eyes welling up and about to scream as the picture fades in a blur of white light (representative of the light people supposedly see when entering heaven, and displaying the sadistic beauty in the sadness of his discovery, hopefully provoking an emotive and shocked response from the audience).
