Specify the minute and second mark where the scene begins and ends (e.g. 24:54-26:-06). This will help you and me to quickly locate this scene for further analysis.

In your opinion, what purpose this scene plays for the film as a whole? What part of the film does this scene occur (Part I, Part II, or Part II)? How does the scene move or complicate the plot of the film
