Tossup

Description acceptable. A shot in this sequence depicts the protagonist, his friend, and a woman standing in front of a window, before the camera cuts to a shot of that woman and zooms in on her red-and-gold necklace. A shot of the main character (15[1])walking against a black background in this scene is illuminated in flashing red light before the background cuts to a cemetery as the protagonist falls into an (*) open grave. A bouquet of flowers in this scene morph into animated petals which float off the screen. (-5[1])The black, semi-translucent outline of the main character is seen falling onto the roof (10[1])of the Mission San Juan Batista in this sequence, (10[1]-5[1])which also depicts the disembodied head of the protagonist floating in a wind (10[1])tunnel. For 10 points, the supposed death of Madeleine Elster haunts the Jimmy Stewart-played “Scottie” Ferguson in what sequence from a 1958 Alfred Hitchcock film? (10[1]) ■END■
