For the assignment I have chosen to analyze the ending sequence of Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 film, Blow-Up. The sequence begins with photographer, Thomas', return to the park during the day to photograph the dead body and ends with the "End title as Thomas fades away. After attempting to make sense of the photographs he took at the park, Thomas discovers that he has, in reality, photographed a murder. He visits the park late at night preceding the final scenes and finds the body yet upon his return to photograph the body during the day it is no longer there.

Instead we begin to follow his gaze as he suddenly looks up at overhanging branches on a tree as they rustle. In the following shots we follow Thomas as he walks around tentatively, making a stops and circling around.

Now we are introduced to the second part of the sequence when the clip suddenly cuts to the same group of yelling, trouble making mimes as they drive around the park catastrophically. The sounds and images of rustling trees from the first part are juxtaposed with the waving and yelling of the mimes a
