The first thing we see in this scene are the two characters, a man and a woman, lying in bed together. We can hear rain falling outside of the building, giving a soothing feeling to the atmosphere. Because both characters can hear this, the sound is diegetic. The non-diegetic sound in this scene is part of the sound track. There is a melancholy tone to this, adding to the soothing and sad atmosphere.
It moves to a mid shot of the face of the woman and the back of the man. The scene progresses until we see the same distance shot, but the face of the man and the back of the woman as he hugs her.
The next shot establishes a new character. She is sitting in a car, and the audience sees her face in the mirror, next to the rain pouring down the windshield. As she turns her head and lowers the car window, the camera focuses in on the red door and light in the centre of the frame, surrounded by rain. This is a balanced composition.
The scene moves back inside, with the camera swapping views between the man and the woman. There is an exchange of dialogue between the two, before the woman moves off set. The scene ends with the man looking at a photo of his family and smiling, as the music fades out and the camera fades to black
