Before Watching
Read the following description of Scottie's dream and then watch the scene and correct the errors :In Scottie's nightmare, he first sees Madeleine holding a bouquet of flowers similar to the one inCarlotta's portrait. Suddenly the flowers turn into multi-coloured cartoon shapes that fly away in different directions. Then we see Gavin and Scottie standing to the left of Carlotta's portrait, followed by a close-up of the real Carlotta with the camera zooming into her emerald necklace. Next, Scottie is seen in a red flashing light walking through the graveyard towards Carlotta's open grave and headstone. He looks into it and sees Madeleine. Then we see Scottie's worried head with flashing red and green lights, and then Madeleine's body falling onto the roof of the Mission.Just as the body hits the rooftop, Scottie wakes up.
